I believe that TeX doesn't have graphics capability only because TUG, or
some other body, hasn't agreed on a standard yet. Certainly the program can
handle it.

Also, although it is no doubt possible to write a format to generate output
on CRTs, as Rusty Wright suggests, it would perhaps be simpler to write a
dvi driver. For example, on Unix* systems, this would allow considerably
simpler access to screen routines for the output, and a dvi2screen program
can handle font changes as well as a format.
