The original ancestor of this document was by Chin Fang <[email protected]>.
Eric S. Raymond <[email protected]> reworked, reorganized, and massively rewrote Chin Fang's original in an attempt to understand it. In the process, he merged in most of a different how-to by Bob Crosson <[email protected]>.
The material on interlaced modes is largely by David Kastrup <[email protected]>
Nicholas Bodley <[email protected]> corrected and clarified the section on how displays work.
Payne Freret <[email protected]> corrected some minor technical errors about monitor design.
Martin Lottermoser <[email protected]> contributed
the idea of using gnuplot to make mode diagrams and did the
mathematical analysis behind modeplot
. The distributed
modeplot
was redesigned and generalized by ESR from
Martin's original gnuplot code for one case.
