Digital plotting from a line generator format
Joseph J. Capowski · ACM SIGGRAPH Computer Graphics · 1975
A hard copy capability was needed for the CRT of a PDP-11/LDS-2 graphics facility. Available hardware was inconvenient or unsatisfactory for several reasons. An Hewlett-Packard 7210 A Digital Plotter was selected and an interface from standard line generator format to the plotter was designed and built. The results are a fast, quiet, high-quality hard copy capability requiring negligible software.
