Definition Of Plotter And Speaker

Plotter

A plotter is a special kind of output device that, like a printer, produces images on paper, but does so in a different way. Plotters are designed to produce large drawings or images, such as construction plans for buildings or blueprints for mechanical objects. A plotter can be connected to the port normally used by a printer.

An array of different colored pens in a clip rack and a robotic arm is part of plotter. The instructions that a plotter receives from a computer consist of a color, and beginning and ending coordinate for a line. With that information, the plotter pick up the appropriate pen through it's arm, positions it at the beginning coordinate drops the pen down to the surface of the paper and draws to the ending coordinates. Plotters draw curves by creating a sequence of very short straight lines.

Plotters usually come in two designs:

  1. Flat Bed: Plotters of small size to be kept on table with restriction of paper size.
  2. Drum: These plotters are of biz size using rolls of paper of unlimited length.

Flatbed Plotters are horizontally aligned while Drum Plotters are vertically positioned.
