+The '''Tektronix 4010''' is a graphics terminal [[introduced in 1972]], based on an 11" [[direct-view storage tube]] displaying vectors in 10-bit resolution (1024×780 visible).
 It succeeded the [[4002]] model from 1969 and founded the very successful 4010 family that also includes the 11" [[4012]]/[[4013]] (1973) that added lowercase characters, the 19" [[4014]]/[[4015]] (1974), and the 25" [[4016]] (1979).
-series commands were widely emulated in third-party products.
+The 4010-1 variant includes circuitry that allows the stored image to be printed using a [[4610]] hard copy unit.
-The 4010 displays vectors on a 1024×780 resolution raster.
+In later years, 4010-series commands were widely emulated in third-party products (then typically raster-based graphics terminals).
-The 4010-1 variant includes circuitry that allows the stored image to be printed using a [[4610]] hard copy unit.
