The way the configurable plotter driver works is that there is a file that
has strings like "DM%ld,%ld;\n", if you know C you will recognize these as
printf format strings. You provide strings (required) for absolute draw/move
and (optional) color/pattern. You also provide data on resolution and overall
size. This file is read by the plot spooler program, which runs the plots in
background…. we will publish specs on that program so you can use it your
self. Enjoy.
