[comp.graphics] Graphics Conversion Software

srb@beta.lanl.gov ( Steve Berger ) (06/12/89)

I'm interested in finding a software package that will convert

.PCX or .TIFF files to an HPGL or .DXF file that can be imported
into a CAD package.

Does such a thing exist?  If so, is anyone out there using one?

Any info is appreciated.

There is a new product from a company in Georgia call TerraVision which
makes a product which will do raster to vector and some other pretty
neat conversions, on a PC. The package is available from a company in
Santa Monica, CA called Harvard Systems.

I have written a set of programs that convert a .PCX file into a text-file
(4 lines for each scan line -> RGBI) and then convert this file into
an HP-LaserJet printable file (I lines only).

Would this suit You?
