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. |
