Since the physical 1627 is managed totally by fpga boards and has no involvement in the PC side program, I would have to add some Python code as well as enhance the fpga side. I will put it on the list of potential future enhancements.<br /><br />It would be pretty easy to deal with on the PC side - set up a printing DC and use the individual drawing commands to draw one pixel long lines, with the pen color turning white when the pen is 'lifted up'. The Python side would start a print operation when the user inserted some virtual paper into the virtual plotter, the various 1627 movements would draw lines on the virtual paper, and then the user could remove the virtual page by committing it to print. This could go to either a real color printer or a PC file.
