I'm looking for references on sequencing plotter commands in such a way as to minimize the drawing time. Clearly, things like the number of pen up/down operations, and the number of pen changes are going to have an impact on performance. Is there any literature on this subject ? Thanks. ********************************************************* * Art Baker | "Whatever happened * * baker@wbc.enet.dec.com | to Fay Wray..." * * PLINK: A*BAKER | * *********************************************************

I'd like to suggest: "Practical Use of Bucketing Techniques in Computational Geometry" by Takao Asano et. al in the book "Computational Geometry" ed. by G. Toussaint, published by North-Holland. (It has references to other work in this area).
