Plotmatron

Overview

The logistical heart of the PD plot system is the Plomatron - it's an extension of the core PD database designed to hold and process information about plots. By using a database rather than a wiki we can use the data about your plots as data; that means the ribbons and resources will all be printed and ready for you - it means automatic time-tabling and more.

At present the plomatron only holds the metadata about your plot - who wrote it, ribbons, resources, requirements, etc. My eventual goal is for all plot information to be held in plotmatron - so the system will expand over time as we add new features.

Getting Started

All the core plotmatron elements are accessed from the crew menu of the PD website. If you don't have access to the crew menu on the main screen after you log in then let me know and I can sort that out.

Once you are in the crew area of the PD website - then select "Plot" from the menu and you'll see this screen.
