Just the disk. That’s probably all there ever was.

Rainbow Computing apparently sold this for $19.95 in 1979. https://archive.org/details/CreativeComputingbetterScan197912/page/25/mode/1up

The program does nothing but load a shape table from cassette, plot some axes, and allow to plot shapes from the table until you get bored. Not rotate. No XDRAW, no rotation. Just scaling. Your two options are to plot another shape or start over. The fact that this wasn’t just a free user group disk boggles the mind. The issue the advertisement was in included an article on shape table animation that is two orders of magnitude more sophisticated and could just be typed in.

Requires Applesoft in ROM, but a 13-sector disk controller. The on-screen instructions assume non-autostart ROM but it doesn’t matter.
