The 16-Vector Algorithm for Computer Controlled Digital X-Y Plotter
Digital X-Y plotters are peripheral devices of digital computer installations and are used for directly plotting out the results of computations. Digital X-Y plotters normally use an 8-vector algorithm for plotting. This paper describes a superior 16-...
A 3-colour ink jet plotter for computer graphics
AbstractA new plotter for hard copy colour display of digital computer outputs has been developed. The plotter uses three intensity modulated ink jets with the colours red, yellow and blue, which plot the information on a normal A 4 paper (210×297 mm) ...
