Ehlers, Bryan L.C. E. Vandoni2015-09-292015-09-2919801017-4656https://doi.org/10.2312/eg.19801009This paper is a proposal for a low-cost, 2 dimensional graphics design package. Its intent is to provide a naive computer-user with the essential tools of a sophisticated design station while emphasising friendly human-machine interaction. Due to the low-cost nature of the proposed system, certain resolution/speed constraints are considered in the design criteria. These are discussed and reasonable solutions are suggested. The main hardware tools which are used as the foundation of the proposal include the Apple II personal computer and the Apple Graphics Tablet, a new intelligent peripheral recently introduced by Apple.10.2312/eg.19801009
