[net.graphics] wanted: GKS to HPGL program

jimmc@sci.UUCP (Jim McBeath) (12/22/85)

I'm looking for a program/filter which reads a GKS metafile and
outputs HPGL format data that I can send to my HP plotter.
Anyone have one of these?  Partial implementations gladly accepted.
(An HPGL to GKS converter would also be useful.)

Other similiar requests have been posted like this.  They can
all be answered by...

	Any GKS with MI (metafile input) will convert the
	metafile to any device that has a driver.  

As far as I know Visual:GKS *  is the only GKS that has a very
easy to change device interface.  It has HPGL plus many
specific HPGL compatible plotters.

* Visual:GKS, Visual:CChart, Visual:ProChart and Visual:Genisys
are all products of Visual Engineering, Inc.
