S P L O T - The Pen Plotter Simulator V2.3 for Windows -------------------------------------------------------- Copyright (C) 1991-95 by Alexandr NOVY All rights reserved. April 1995 PLOTTERS.TXT This file contains technical information about pen plotter types supported by the SPLOT program. It also contains list of supported plotter instructions for each listed plotter type. 1. General Information: The SPLOT program is available for various plotter versions. This means that there are provided DLL modules designated for a certain plotter type. This principle gives the maximum reliability of simulation of the given plotter type. At present the DLL modules for the following plotter types are at your disposal: Plotter type | Plotter syntax ------------------------------------------------------------ HP-GL/2 pen plotter | HP-GL/2 HP 7470A | HP-GL HP 7475A | HP-GL HP 7440A ColorPro | HP-GL HP 7550A | HP-GL HP 7570A/7575A/7576A DraftPro DXL/EXL | HP-GL HP 7595A/7596A DraftMaster I/II | HP-GL ROLAND DXY 1100/1200/1300 | DXY-GL / RD-GL I ROLAND GRX 300/400 | RD-GL II An UNREGISTERED COPY of the program is available only in the version for the HP-GL/2, HP 7475A and HP DraftMaster plotters. The versions for other plotter types can be received only on the basis of regular registration. See the file LICENCE.TXT for registration information. 2.
