Software Product Description
PRODUCT NAME: Pen Plotter Utilities, Version 1.0
DESCRIPTION:
The Pen Plotter Utilities are a set of FORTRAN callable subroutines which provide basic control of a Calcomp plotter. The routines run under the RSX-11 M
and VAX/VMS operating systems and communicate
with the pen plotter via an asynchronous EIA serial
interface (DL 11, DH11 or DZ11) and a Calcomp Model 906 Controller.
By using the Model 906 Controller, it is possible to
attach Calcomp plotters of different types using the
same hardware computer interface and device
handler.
The calls execute draw and move commands and establish program· control parameters. They are fully
compatible with the standard Calcomp calls. (In addition, calls are included which provide access to a library of Engineering Drawing Utilities, available as a
separate product (SPD 15.54.x).)
The two types of pen plotter handler commands are
pen movement-character drawing commands, and
plotting control commands.
Subroutines included can carry out:
• initialize routines
• end routines
• pen selection
• line plotting
• plot string of characters
The Plotting Control commands are used with a
COMMON area which contains information concerning:
• plotter step size
• current pen up/down
• pen in use, etc.
The utilities also provide a plot clipping capability to
ensure that the physical position of the pen is always
in synchronization with the logical position, even when
the logical plot has extended beyond the edge limits
of the plotter.
MINIMUM HARDWARE REQUIRED:
One of the following:
• Any valid RSX-11 M Version 3.1
system configuration
• Any valid VAX/VMS Version 1 or later system configuration
