How do I print GCG graphics to my HP plotter or printer?

You can get GCG to write its graphic output into a file suitable for HP plotters. You can use either the GCG command 'hpgl' or the command 'setplot' to set this up. ('Setplot' is a simpler, menu-driven program that allows you to choose between the most common configurations, but 'hpgl' gives you more options.) Note that the output file will be overwritten each time you run a graphics-producing GCG routine. If you want to save it, rename the file after it is produced!

Sample session:

MapPlot displays restriction sites graphically.  If you don't have a
plotter, MapPlot can write a text file that approximates the graph.
