Generating pen-plotter drawings from selective point-sets of digital photographs

A significant property of pen-plotter drawings is their reliance on a physically / mechanically drawn line. It is the pen, which is drawing the line. Interesting aesthetic consequences follow from this for drawings executed on pen-plotters. The paper addresses a particular generative approach to produce such drawings. It is assumed that the starting points of lines play an important role in the generative algorithm and a strategy has been programmed to collect selective point-sets from digital photographs, which are then used as starting points for an algorithmically generated drawing. The generative sequence is discussed.
