The MEGADATS pedigree plotting system, described in this paper, is designed to display a human pedigree on a graphics device such as a pen plotter. The plotting algorithm, which is order n in disk reads, where n is the number of individuals, is presented. Example plots are given, including a family with multiple mates and multiple original parent pairs.
