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.
Absolute draw/move? Will you be supporting relative movement also or won't
that be possible. Guess the best thing to do is wait until you publish the
specs and then dive it.
Did you notice that the cover of Mortimore's "Amiga Programmer's Handbook"
(Sybex) has a picture that looks vaguely familar? Now where have I seen that
before? <grin>
