plotter
One hatching schemes
A plotter is someone who schemes or conspires: The plotters met in secret to plan the coup.
In computing and design, a plotter is a machine that draws lines on paper, used for technical drawings, blueprints, and large-format prints.
The human sense carries sinister connotations; the machine sense is neutral and technical.
