Plotters #

Per-plotter helpers and configs. Each plotter has its own subdir with a README, drivers, and any device profiles it needs. The flat axi*.fish scripts at this level are the AxiDraw helpers (kept top-level for muscle memory; conceptually they belong to AxiDraw).

Devices #

• AxiDraw — flat fish helpers (axihome, axipenup, axipendown, axienable, axidisable, axicycle, axiplot file.svg ...). Driven via axicli. See Examples below.
• HP 7585B — hp7585b/. A0/E-size 8-pen drafting plotter, driven via vpype (SVG → HPGL) plus serial helpers. See hp7585b/README.md.

Install (fish) #

Symlink the helpers you want into ~/.config/fish/functions/ or source them from config.fish. For the AxiDraw helpers:

for f in ~/aesthetic-computer/plotters/axi*.fish
    ln -sf $f ~/.config/fish/functions/(basename $f)
end

For the HP 7585B helpers:

for f in ~/aesthetic-computer/plotters/hp7585b/hp7585b*.fish
    ln -sf $f ~/.config/fish/functions/(basename $f)
end
