This may be more of an issue with stardot/MatrixBrandy BASIC's Tek output thank Tek4010's rendering, but testing output with three different Tek rendering devices gives the following results:

  • xterm: output as expected

  • tek2plot (GNU plotutils): output as expected

  • Tek4010: spurious output on display.

The following Tek commands from Matrix Brandy BASIC should draw a square rotated 22° anticlockwise in the centre of the screen:

This is what the output from tek2plot looks like:

The output in an xterm window looks similar, and is as expected.

The output from Tek4010, however, has spurious characters at the top left and at every vertex:

Seems to be resolved - thank you!
