[comp.sys.ibm.pc] A Graphics Toolbox for the HP LaserJet

akk2@ur-tut.UUCP (Atul Kacker) (01/14/87)

I am looking for a set of routines that would drive
the HP LaserJet (something like the Turbo Toolbox).
I would then write my own Plotting package using those
routines. They can be in any high level language.
Any pointers to a PD/ShareWare/Commercial package
would be appreciated. Thanks

Because I've seen requests for information on available graphics tools
for use with various devices under MS-DOS or PC-DOS, I am replying to
the group, rather than to just Atul Kacker.

Graphic Software Systems, Inc.  writes a graphics toolkit called the
GSS*CGI Computer Graphics Interface Graphics Development Toolkit
(GSS*CGI GDT, for short).  It is a device-independent graphics subsystem
that is consistent with the emerging ANSI CGI standard.

It supports a large variety of devices including displays, printers (HP
LaserJet as well), plotters, input devices (mice, tablets, etc.)  and
cameras.

It has bindings to several languages including C, FORTRAN, Pascal, BASIC
and Assembler.

It is available for MS-DOS, PC-DOS and various other operating systems
(including UNIX), through various mail-order houses or from GSS
directly.

For more information (I've only touched the tip of the iceberg, here)
contact GSS at (503)641-2200 during normal business hours on the West
Coast.
