PLOTVS, Device Independent Graphics
12-157
Author: Dennis McGhie, Stanford Medical Center, Stanford, California
PLOTVS was written to allow plotting on three dissimilar graphics devices from a single set of software. Plotting programs are written to drive an incremental plotter, except the plotter commands are buffered to an OS/8 file. PLOTVS reads this file and plots the picture on an incremental plotter, a storage scope, or a line oriented plotter.
