hp2xx-3.4.3: description + notes
The hp2xx program is a versatile tool to convert vector-oriented
graphics data given in Hewlett-Packard's HP-GL plotter language into a
variety of popular graphics formats, both vector- and raster-oriented.
The various supported output formats include Encapsulated PostScript
(EPS), PCX, IMG, and several formats intended to facilitate the
generation of graphics within TeX documents. In addition, hp2xx
output is printable on the HP Laserjet/Deskjet printer series, and it
may be used as a HP-GL previewer.
hp2xx first converts all HP-GL data into pure vectors and buffers
them internally. It then converts these vectors into a specified output
format (vector modes), or rasterizes them (raster modes) on an
internal bitmap. In raster modes, hp2xx then translates the bitmap
into the output format.
The hp2xx
home page has more information.
