Abstract
Computer graphics offers an unprecedented opportunity to probe new and old ideas in vision testing, without going to the expense of building dedicated equipment. However, the large variety of computer hardware is bewildering and only occasionally can commercial software tools be used. This mini review of the basic principles of computer graphics on personal computers is intended to help the newcomer to the field.
