**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).
