Can anybody direct me to some interesting HPGL plotter files for a display at

I'm sending (in a separate, direct message with attachment) the semi-famous /
once ubiquitous Space Shuttle plot from the 1980s.
I received it from someone after making a similar request to the list 10 years
ago.
Some things to note though: this plot uses multiple colored pens and was scaled
to some (largish, IIRC) size of paper.
I was targetting a HP 9872 plotter which was too early to understand some of
the more complex HPGL directives present in the SS plot, such as drawing arcs.
I wrote a language filter/converter that will optionally scale the image,
offset it relative to the plotter bed, converts certain directives e.g. arcs to
a series of line-segment directives, reduces the number of pens, etc.
I'll send the original SS plot, if you figure you could use the filter program,
I can send it along, or a modified plot, upon request.
inkscape has hpgl export support
[Chiplotle](http://cmc.music.columbia.edu/chiplotle/) gives you a python API
these is also [tsp art](http://wiki.evilmadscientist.com/TSP_art) witch
