The Computer Graphics Unit (CCU) was established in 1974 to provide a central interactive computer graphics service to members of the University of Manchester. In 1978 the Science and Engineering Research Council (SERC) enabled a significant expansion of the Unit by providing funds for additional equipment and another member of staff. The CCU now offers its facilities not only to University members but also to SERC supported projects within the area. In 1979 the University purchased a Cenisco CCT3OOO colour raster display, and the purpose of this paper is to describe how it was integrated into the service provided by the Unit.
