Description

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 Besides these limitations, hp2xx has proven to work with many HP-GL sources without any trouble.

It allows conversion from HPGL to:

mf (MetaFont), eps (PostScript), pcl (HP-PCL Level3),
pre(view), pcx (PaintBrush-Format), img (GEM),
    pic (ATARI bitmap), pbm (Portable Bitmap),
png (Portable Network Graphics), ...
