I'm soliciting recommendations for a GOOD graphics editor which
runs under SCO XENIX V on the AT&T PC 6300. By GOOD I mean
such things as
1. Interactive display manipulation
2. "What you see is what you get"
3. Flexible with respect to optional hardware (e.g. EGA boards or not)
4. Support for popular printers and plotters
5. Complete primitive set (circles, rectangles, arcs, etc)
6. Macro definition capability (for user-defined symbols)
7. Large virtual drawing surface (not all displayed at once)
8. Scroll and zoom to get along with #7
9. Intermediate output in some "standard" language
(e.g. PIC/troff, DI-3000 metafiles, etc)
I realize that this is a pretty bodacious list, and would be
interested in packages that fall short in one or a few of these
features. Of course, I've probably left out some important
features, too. All comments or suggestions are welcome.
You can reply by mail if you want, but I suspect that this will
be of fairly general interest, so I'd like to see responses
posted, and a dialogue established.
Thanks!
