It's on the 1981 Usenix tape, in the ucol directory:
https://www.tuhs.org/Archive/Applications/Shoppa_Tapes/usenix_81.tar.gz
It looks like leroy produces output for an "extended" form of plot; from
the docs:
--
The plot stream leroy emits is intended for, and must
be directed to, an extended UNIX plot filter. These filters
recognize a number of commands not included in the vanilla
seventh edition filters, mostly dealing with the Hershey
fonts. The extended plot filters are upward compatible with
their predecessors and have been implemented in a fashion
which makes tailoring new devices filters very straightfor-
ward. The source code is available on request. Filters
currently exist for the Tektronix 4014, the Versatec, the
HP7221A, and the Qume.
