Top-down on a two-pen plotter: the gantry and an orange carriage draw eccentric nested circles in black fineliner in real path order, lifting between strokes, then switch pens and fill lenses with blue serpentine hatching while a panel counts paths, metres and plot time.

Pen plotters draw vector files with a real pen held in a carriage that moves on two axes and lifts between strokes. Generative artists send them SVG paths, and because pen-up travel costs time, plotting tools reorder and rotate paths so the pen hops to the nearest start. Two-pen machines carry both inks at once and shift the carriage by the pen spacing to change colour, and hatching is drawn as serpentine strokes to save lifts.
