where I described the (same) problem and my solution. I wasn't aware of the JPC article at the time.
You can try my BIRTH program for the plotter, it gave so nice graphics that it was actually used to illustrate several later Micro-Revue issues.

       
Thanks to you Jean-Francois,

your HP-41 program BIRTH has already given me a lot of pleasure. It worked right away with the Canon X-710. The first attached picture was created with my date of birth and the second with that of my wife. She likes it so much that she wants it bigger. I will try to rewrite your program on the plotter module and then use the HP 7470 simulation in pyilper to generate a PDF version and print it out in large format.

I translated your article into English with the help of http://www.babelfish.de and attached it below. This required a new OCR and the correction of all incorrectly recognized letters. I learned that babelfish can translate much better into English than into German. So if necessary, always first in English and then in German ...

The program BIRTH was logged directly from my HP-41CX with the printer simulation by pyilper. The BASIC program has not been tested and with the many 1, I and J I am not sure that I recognized all of them correctly.
