Peer reviewedDean, P. J.; Murkett, A. J. – Physics Education, 1985
Describes how color graphics are built up on microcomputer displays and how a range of colors can be produced. Discusses the logic of color formation, noting that adding/subtracting color can be conveniently demonstrated. Color generating techniques in physics (resistor color coding and continuous spectrum production) are given with program…

Peer reviewedBaxter, Martin W. – Physics Education, 1987
Describes an accurate system for measuring speeds and frequencies with a microcomputer. Explains how the system can give a reasonable graphical representation of velocity and acceleration against time. Gives examples of graphs produced by the program and provides an address to obtain the software for their application. (CW)
