I had the large ibm calcomp plotter if big wide one we have the same
... it is in the hp display case at smecc museum
there was a fortran graphics text book we had adn I had gotten with a HP
3000 and it had a interface board ( parallel interface?? too many
years)
I made it plot squares etc .. as I remember the hp intrinsics may
have had some support for this..
once I did that i put it aside and went back to playing with the HP
multi-pen HP plotters we sold back them at Computer Exchange Inc.

The book 'The Minicomputer in the Laboratory' by James W Cooper covers
using an
X-Y plotter with an 11/05, and has assembly listings and a whole bunch of
related
stuff about scientific plotting. Also a lot of info on using the LPS-11
too.
There are plenty of copies out there and quite cheap too. It's an
excellent book
and could be of use to you.
Steve.
