Abstract
Modula-2 is the implementation language used in Northwest Missouri State University's graphics course. Two locally produced modules of graphics procedures provide the interface for most of these programs. These modules run under TopSpeed Modula-2 on a PC system with a VGA display. The module of two-dimensional procedures provides functionality similar to a minimal GKS package. The module of three-dimensional procedures is parallel to, but simpler than, the two-dimensional module. Students have benefitted both from using and from extending these modules.
