When they say 30000 pps at 8 degrees... Does that meeeean...
This is a tuning optimization parameter guideline for the ILDA test pattern.
Try as a rule of thumb for point intervals in straight line segments one point every 4% of 65536 for even brightness along the line. There may be better algorithms for this. On delay, dwell or wait points between vertexes, 2-3 dwell points for short distances and 5-7 dwell points for long distances, before the beam is turned on, then have an "ON" dwell for 2-3 points, as a start. Lots will depend on your scanner's closed-loop frequency response.
Another good way to get a feel for this is to create a square, box image at maximum size, with 5 "OFF" dwell points and 2 "ON" dwell points at each vertex. Then fill in between the vertexes with additional single point values, e.g. 4 fill points, 8, 16, 32, etc. and look at each variation over a range of pps.
I really liked the article you posted from the art-science journal. In the past, we just did the point-route and dwell calculations in our head as we drew out the image outline on a digitizing tablet. Sure is nice to have horsepower to do it on the computer from a scanned image file.
