hp2xx reads HPGL ASCII source files, interprets them, and
|
||
|
|
converts them into either another vector-oriented format or
|
||
|
|
one of several rasterfile formats. Currently, its HPGL
|
||
|
|
parser recognizes a subset of the HP 7550A command set. Some
|
||
|
|
high-level functions like filled polygons are missing.
|
||
|
|
Also, only the basic fixed character set 0 is supported.
|
||
|
|
Beside these limitations, hp2xx has proven to work with many
|
||
|
|
HP-GL sources without any trouble.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In addition, hp2xx includes an X11 previewer for HPGL files.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Supported vector formats are: TeX/Metafont, emTex-specials,
|
||
|
|
TeX/epic-Macros, and -I PostScript.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Supported raster formats are: HP-PCL, PCX, PIC, IMG,
|
||
|
|
PBM, and previews. However, generation of other formats is
|
||
|
|
made easy for programmers because of hp2xx's modular struc-
|
||
|
|
ture.
