Plottergeist, from Palomar Software, allows the connection of a Macintosh to plotters to produce plotted output from CAD software, presentation packages, drawing and graphics programs. Compatible with all Macintosh applications, the plotter can be chosen from within a software application.
Background printing allows users to work on the Macintosh while their document is being plotted. A preview mode allows users to see their entire document before sending it to be plotted.
Arbitrary reduction and enlargement allows scaling output to fit from a standard letter-size page to a 36 by 48-inch E-size drawing. You can print smooth text in large sizes, or use the plotter's built-in fonts for fast draft work.
The package includes disk, manual and an RS-232 interface cable.
Plottergeist requires a Macintosh Plus or later. Background printing requires 2MB of RAM and MultiFinder.
