# Tek4010 Quick Start
This is a Tektronix 4010/4014 graphics terminal emulator.
It is not a full VT100/xterm terminal.
Basic usage:
tek4010 [options]
---
## Examples
To use the included examples and demos, start tek4010 with the command
tek4010
In the tek4010 window, change to the Tek4010 directory:
cd Tek4010
Display a plot file:
cat test.plt
Animation:
cat animation.plt
Demo script:
sh demos/demo.sh
If typing feels slow, start tek4010 with the -fast option.
Without -fast, tek4010 will automatically switch to fast mode when it
detects slow graphics response. This may take a while.
---
## Keyboard
The following keys are handled locally by tek4010 and are not passed
to the child process or remote system.
Clear screen
Mac: Fn-Left Arrow
Linux: Home
Windows: Home
Break
Mac: Left Option-B
Linux: Alt-B
Windows: Alt-B
Quit
Window close button
Ctrl-D
APL mode (only if APL support enabled)
Left Option-N switch to APL character set
Left Option-O switch back to normal character set
All normal ASCII keys and control characters (Ctrl-C, Ctrl-D, etc.)
are passed through unchanged.
---
## Options
By default, the screen clears automatically when the bottom is reached.
Use -noAutoClear to disable this.
| Option | Description |
|----------|------------------------------------------|
| -fast | Fast rendering without fading |
| -full | Full screen mode (Ctrl-Q to close) |
| -half | Use half of the screen width. |
| -b9600… | Emulate terminal baud rates |
