The demand for high graphic arts quality publications particularly in the areas of education and technology increases steadily. The associated use of computer controlled photocomposition systems can be likewise expected to accelerate. Considering the high cost of currently available systems, we were motivated to investigate alternative approaches, both from a hardware and a software point of view. We conducted experiments with a high resolution electron beam recorder controlled by a small computer containing 8K words of 16 bits each, and running at about 500K cycles per second. The recorder can address a raster grid 16,384 square, and can draw both horizontal and vertical vectors, but the vectors must be no greater than four rasters apart to obtain proper shading. This paper concerns itself primarily with the software implementation, as constrained by the given hardware configuration.
