I am looking around for high-quality plotters to use for things like
chemical structures, NMR spectra, potential energy surface contour plots,
etc.  Anyone have any suggestions?  So far the candidates are the HP
"Sweetheart" plotter, the Strobe model 100, and a couple of models from
Amdek corp and from Houston Instrument Div. of Bausch and Lomb.  I'd
appreciate comments on these or other plotters from anyone who's used
one.  I plan to use the SLAC unified graphics package to drive whatever
I get; if anyone has other software to drive these things I'd love to
hear about it, though.

Thanx
Stew
