4. Plotting on the Black&White Versatec
DOES NOT YET RUN WITH CEDAR 6.0
I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO DEAL WITH STIPPLES...
DF File: /DATools/DATools6.0/Top/CDVPlot22.DF
Start program: run vplot
Commands: Use the hard copy menu.
Manipulate the design in the viewer so that you can see the entire amount of information you want to print. Hold down H , and with the left button down, draw a rectangle containing that part of the design that you want to come out on paper. When you release the button, Terminal will ask you to select the number of strips you want the design to be printed on (for all you VLSI wallpaper fans). A new viewer will appear, showing the middle of the horizontal stripe currently under consideration. An arrow pointing to the design will show you how far the transfer has progressed. After the transfer is complete, the connection to the Alto will be closed and the Trident file "plot.bits" will be printed on the Versatec. This routine should not break even on large and complex designs.
