### Raster Devices

For raster devices (not supporting vectors), a somewhat different method is used to get a printout. First, a vector file (default extension .vec) is created, and it is then processed by another utility to produce a drawing. Several different utilities are provided to do so. Their use and availability will depend on your own site specificities.

- PLXY is used to provide a bit-file for LXY11 Dec printers (also called Printronix 300). This bit-file extension is .PLT and the name is the same as the input metacode file.
- VTXY is used to plot on Versatec.
- LA100 is used to create bit-file for an LA100 Decwriter (extension .LA100).
- And others for other supports...
