Where are plotters used?

Answer 1

A plotter is someone whom writes the game story/script. They do not design it although they oftentimes have a great imagination. It is the plotters job to find the interests in the selected age group and work with others.

In computing, a plotter is a type of printer for printing vector graphics. Unlike conventional printers, plotters work more like a robot with a pen. To plot, you would tell it to move to the first position, put the pen down, move to the second location, and lift the pen back up.

Because of inkjet printers, plotters are mostly obsolete these days except for specialized types for usages such as engraving. Artists and hackers have rediscovered pen plotters. Modern plotters, like today's printers, use inkjet cartridges instead of a pen to print designs. Even though this feature technically makes them no longer fall under the definition of a plotter, they are still commonly referred to as such.

Answer 2

Draftsmen, Architects, Technicians, or anyone else who wants to produce a color line drawing of something they have drafted. Producing what used to be called "blueprints" is what plotters are used for.

Answer 3

Types of plotters

Plotter

A plotter is a special output device used to produce hardcopies of graphs and designs on the paper. A plotter is typically used to print large-format graphs or maps such as construction maps, engineering drawings and big posters. Plotters are divided into two types:

1. Drum plotters

2. Flatbed plotters

Drum Plotter

A drum plotter is also known as Roller Plotter. It consists of a drum or roller on which a paper is placed and the drum rotates back and forth to produce the graph on the paper. It also consists of mechanical device known as Robotic Drawing Arm that holds a set of colored ink pens or pencils. The Robotic Drawing Arm moves side to side as the paper are rolled back and forth through the roller. In this way, a perfect graph or map is created on the paper. This work is done under the control of computer. Drum Plotters are used to produce continuous output, such as plotting earthquake activity.

Flatbed Plotter

A flatbed plotter is also known as Table Plotter. It plots on paper that is spread and fixed over a rectangular flatbed table. The flatbed plotter uses two robotic drawing arms, each of which holds a set of colored ink pens or pencils. The drawing arms move over the stationary paper and draw the graph on the paper. Typically, the plot size is equal to the area of a bed. The plot size may be 20- by-50 feet. It is used in the design of cars, ships, aircrafts, buildings, highways etc. Flatbed plotter is very slow in drawing or printing graphs. The large and complicated drawing can take several hours to print. The main reason of the slow printing is due to the movement mechanical devices.

Today, mechanical plotters have been replaced by thermal, electrostatic and ink jet plotters. These systems are faster and cheaper. They also produce large size drawings.

Answer 4

Plotters are used to produce hard copies of graphics, designs, mapsetc. in large paper such as A0,A1,A2etc. It is very useful for AUTOCAD drawings.

Prints produced by it are very useful for engineers and planners.

Answer 5

Plotters are commonly used for printing vector graphics onto a paper. There are many types of printing techniques, but the plotting printing is one of the most commonly used when dealing with vector graphics.

Answer 6

They've essentially replaced "Blue Prints" with engineering and architecture.

Presumably specialty plotters would also be used with art & sign making.
