ANNplot
Coming soon

Plotter Output Service Queue.

ANNplot needs a proper production path before physical plotting or full-file unlocks go public. This area explains the planned queue: draft, sample, billing, review, approval, sender setup, plot, proof, and delivery.

Not open for automatic orders yetPhysical plotting and full HPGL unlocks should stay controlled until sender software, billing review, and production checks are proven.

Planned workflow

1. Draft / preview

Visitor creates or uploads line art. The site shows a preview and may offer a small sample HPGL export.

2. Queue submittal

User submits to a production queue with title, page size, plotter target, notes, and intended use.

3. Billing gate

Free preview stays available. Full HPGL unlock or physical plotting can require a small fee or manual payment confirmation.

4. Production review

Agents and Rob review scale, page fit, path count, pen count, complexity, and whether it is safe to plot.

5. Sender software

Approved jobs move into sender software with the correct plotter profile, serial settings, page origin, and speed controls.

6. Proof / delivery

Output gets proofed. Digital HPGL/SVG can be delivered, and physical output can be handled later once the process is tested.

Full HPGL unlock idea

A practical monetization path is: show the design preview and a limited/sample HPGL first, then offer the full HPGL file for a very small fee. This should be behind a billing gate and member wall so the site does not become a free unlimited file-generation pipe.

  • Free: preview image, small/sample HPGL, maybe SVG preview.
  • Paid small unlock: full HPGL output.
  • Higher tier later: production review and physical plotting quote.
