Published in 1979, the book highlights the state of the art of
computer graphics at that time. From the back cover:

"This book shows you how to create your own video graphics on the new
personal computers being sold across the country. It is oriented
toward the Radio Shack TRS-80, the Commodore PET 2001, and the Apple
II home computers, and it is geared to the user who wants to know
the concepts and techniques for drawing pictures, making graphs and
charts, animating shapes and objects, creating mandalas and dazzlers,
and just about any application of the visual arts that you can
imagine."

The book includes type-in BASIC programs for creating graphics on the
Apple II computer. Also of interest are profiles, with pictures, of
low-cost and high-cost ($5000 to $70,000) graphics computers of the
era.

This is the 33rd book to be made available at AtariArchives.org. The 
1984 follow-up book, Computer Animation Primer, is also available at the 
site.
