The BrachiGraph project consists out of two parts, the hardware design for a servo-driven drawing arm (pen plotter) and software utilities (written in Python) that allow the drawing arm’s servos ...

By moving a pen mechanically, plotters draw line art onto the surface of the paper to reproduce vector graphics drawn on a computer. Although ideal for printing large line art graphics ...

Both wide-format printers and plotters create high-resolution image replication, but the methods of reproduction the two printer types use differ vastly due to file format, materials and subject ...

An easy-to-build pen-plotter, driven by a library of simple ... The linedraw.py script is used to convert bitmap images into vector graphics, which can then be plotted by the BrachioGraph.

It’s a capable plotter, able to nicely reproduce both graphics and text. The build gains X and Y axes by virtue of two salvaged DVD drives. The tray mechanisms come ready to go with stepper ...

The plotter was the first output device to print graphics and large engineering drawings. Using different colored pens, it could draw in color long before color inkjet printers became viable.

A graphics plotter that contains a flat surface that the paper is placed on. The size of this surface (bed) determines the maximum size of the drawing. Contrast with drum plotter. THIS DEFINITION ...
