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 on many platforms.

It can be used as an ImageMagick or GraphicsMagick delegate to convert
|
|
|
|
|
from HPGL format.

|
Note: hp2xx is built here without PNG output support because it's not
|
|
|
|
|
compatible with modern libpng. If you need to convert HP-GL to PNG,
|
|
|
|
|
use GraphicsMagick, built with hp2xx support.
