[fa.laser-lovers] Mathematical Graphics Packages

	Does anyone have a plotting package (somewhat
more extensive than the standard 4.2bsd code) that
will drive an Imagen laser printer?

> Is there a plotting package that will drive the Imagen?

The Imagen has a Tektronix emulation mode, which is mostly reliable (Version
1.8 and older models of the Imprint-10 can't handle really complex graphs
well).  Most interesting graphics packages will drive a Tek 4010/4.
(We're writing a unix plot(3) -> Impress filter to gain some speed, and work
around the bugs on our old Imagen; it's not that tough if you have source.)

Usual disclaimer, and also I don't have the filter yet.
