**Making grayscale images for tek4010**
The Tektronix 4014 was able to display grayscale images using the "special point plot mode", which was
state of the art for the 1970s. The grayscale had only 64 values and was very nonlinear. There are
very few such grayscale images still available, but you can make your own images using my tool
[make-tek-image](https://github.com/rricharz/make-tek-image).
