Colophon
A living reference for the local plotter studies: its type, paper logic, vector output, and the small conventions that make individual studies belong together.
Type system
Controls, parameters, metadata, navigation, and colophon copy.
Physical SVG path labels. No installed font is needed for a plot.

SVG plot setup
SVG uses true millimetre width and height with a matching viewBox. Paper remains unfilled; only pen paths are exported. Drawing geometry clears the scaled bottom gutter. The plot label sits at the drawing’s left margin and is vertically centred in that gutter. Scaffold is screen-only; Plot frame exports a physical line. Zoom and panning are viewing tools only: they never change exported geometry.

Artists, methods, tools, and source acknowledgements are held in the evolving archive.
Open References →Working principle
Each study remains locally hosted and self-referential in Algorithmics Studies. Settings and plot-pick notes are stored on the device. This colophon records the conventions and sources used as the archive grows.
