Abstract

Some methods for contour mapping by means of a digital plotter are dicussed, and a new method is presented that is simple enough to be implemented by programs with a rather small number of instructions (about 120 FORTRAN IV instructions are required). Comparisons with some methods proposed by other authors are also performed.A FORTRAN IV program implementing the proposed method is availabel at the Istituto di Elettrotecnica ed Elettronica, Politecnico di Milano.
