Plotting on an Electrostatic Printer/Plotter

Abstract

<p>A survey of printers and plotters is given, and in particular the operation and capabilities of electrostatic printer/Plotters is discussed. An implementation of a plotting system which plots on an electrostatic printer/plotter is presented. This plotting system is designed to be compatible with the Benson-Lehner plotting system. The standard "PLOT" routine is replaced by a two pass system, which generates plots on the printer/plotter. In addition to the plotting system, an implementation of a graph utility is presented. This utility provides a single one pass system that plots one or more functions (where the function has one value for each value of x.)</p>
