Plotters are used primarily in technical drawing and CAD applications, where they have the advantage of working on very large paper sizes while maintaining high resolution.
Support for Popular Wide-format Plotters and Industry-standard Raster Formats
Overview ...
Plotter
The plotter was the first graphic peripheral capable of printing maps. The plotter has a pen, which draws out lines, controlled by x,y motors.
Plotter - Equipment that can plot a graphic file using multiple line weights and colors. Types available today are: pen, laser, and electrostatic plotters.
Kelsh plotter Double-projection plotting instrument utilizing swinging lamps to transmit light through contact- size diapositives (positive transparencies).
an analytical plotter is a partially automated form of stereoplotter which obtains contours by automatically comparing photographs

The third hardware component is the printer/plotter. These devices are used to produce a hardcopy map. There are several types of printers including: matrix, inkjet/bubblejet and laser.

Computers and terminals on a LAN can freely share data and peripheral devices, such as printers and plotters. LANs are composed of cabling and special data communications hardware and software.
online A state (referring to equipment such as computers, plotters, printers, and digitizers) of being turned on and actively communicating with a computer or computer network.
can interface with commercial printers, plotters, digitizers, and databases to develop new data as well as manage existing data.
can display and manipulate vector data for roads, streams, boundaries, and other features.
The first motor cars really did resemble a "horseless carriage," and similarly, early GISs and computer mapping systems attempted to replicate on the flat-bed plotter or later on interactive computer displays the map design principles that had been ...
The theory of Kriging was developed by the French mathematician Georges Matheron based on the Master's thesis of Daniel Gerhardus Krige, the pioneering plotter of distance-weighted average gold grades at the Witwatersrand reef complex.
This program generated coverage limit boundaries for output to plotters. Knowledgeable operator interaction was required to combine the result of SNR and GDOP computations.
The sheet sizes are dependent on the plotter or printer. The missions commonly performed by topographic surveyors require a standing floor-mounted plotter that is capable of plotting D- and E-size sheets.
The resolution of scanners and plotters is often measured in dots per inch. For plotters, dots per inch is a measure of the number of pixels plotted per linear inch.
Resolution: The smallest detectable distance between features recorded on a digitizer, displayed on a graphics screen, or drawn by a plotter.
"Display Resolution"; The density of the pixels that compose an image.
Specifically computer hardware devices such as computer screens, plotters, printers, scanners (remote and document) and analytic stereo plotters along with visualization, image processing, spatial analysis and database software, ...
It is simply not enough to purchase a computer, a plotter, a display device, and some software and to put it into a corner with some enthusiastic persons and then expect immediate returns.

Generally, the process involves using specialized equipment (a stereoplotter) to project overlapping aerial photos so that a viewer can see a three-dimensional picture of the terrain, known as a photogrammetric model.
The "GIS is a tool" position sees GIS as the use of a particular class of software, the associated hardware tools such as digitizers and plotters, and digital geographic data in order to advance some specific purpose.
[map design] A map produced with a stereoscopic plotter using aerial photographs and geodetic control data.
Peripheral A component such as a digitizer, plotter, or printer that is not part of the central computer but is attached through communication cables.
The physical components of a computer system - the computer, plotters, printers, terminals, digitizers, and so on.
Hydraulic Conductivity ...
Initially, these were formatted as printouts using a black and white Versatec Electrostatic Plotter.
The process of drawing maps with the aid of computer driven input and display devices such as plotters and graphics screens. The term does not imply any information processing.
Automated Mapping ...
Layouts can be sent to a printer or plotter to create a hard copy product. Because ArcView layouts are linked to the data they display, any changes you make to the data are automatically reflected in the layout.

The points, lines and areas defining geographic features on a map are represented as an organized set of X, Y coordinates. These data drive pen plotters that can rapidly redraw the connections at a variety of colors, scales, ...
Input/Output (I/O)
The two-way transfer of GPS information with another device, such as a nav plotter, autopilot, or another GPS unit.
In a map layout, you can place graphical elements containing views, graphs, tables, images, and graphical primitives on a page. The layout can then be sent to a printer or plotter, or saved as a graphics file.
Graphics device interface (GDI) - A piece of software whose function is to translate commands from the computer to a plotter or printer for the generation of graphical products.
...
HARDWARE
The various physical components of an information processing system. The term refers to devices such as the computer, the screen, plotters, and printers.
Applications include avionics, fleet management, public safety vehicle dispatch, vehicle mapping displays and navigation systems, marine navigation plotters and autopilots, atmospheric balloon testing and marine buoy positioning.
Photogrammetry: Digital stereo-plotters are used to capture the vector data from the Ariel photographs, pictures and images. This is comparatively the most effective method of accurate GIS data capture, but is one of the most costliest methods too.
