[sci.electronics] HPGLVIEW - a viewer for PCB & Schematic Plot files

G.Moretti@massey.ac.nz (Giovanni Moretti) (05/03/91)

Here's a piece of software I've just released that can be used to
preview PC artwork and schematic plot files.


         HPGLVIEW - A Screen Previewer for HPGL Plot files

HPGLVIEW will display the contents of an HPGL file, normally intended for a
plotter, on the PC's screen.  The screen is treated as an A3 or A4 page and
aspect ratio effects are ignored to maximise the available resolution.

Its designed to show you what the plot looks like on the page or what's in
an HPGL file that you've just found, not be an absolute mimic of a plot.
If you need absolute precision, plot it.  

Version 1.0 is now ready and can be downloaded from GARBO.UWASA.FI
(128.214.12.37) or from SIMTEL-20 (26.2.0.74) in the <MSDOS.GRAPHICS>
directory.

             The file is called HPGLVU10.ZIP

The release includes Turbo Pascal source distributed under the terms
of the GNU public licence, i.e.  it's free.

Cheers
Giovanni
