[comp.sys.apollo] GMR3D->CGM,HPGL converters

librarian@ADUS.ECN.UIOWA.EDU (ADUS librarian) (01/24/91)

I have a user not on the Internet who is looking for something to
convert GMR3D files into CGM or HPGL format. Does anyone know of
such a thing?

Thanks in advance,
Dave Shaw

There are two 3D GMR calls, gmr_$print_display and
gmr_$print_viewport which are supposed to render their
containts into a output file according to the
"print_style". My out of date insert files show
two available print styles for 3D GMR, postscript and
CGM. All you should need to do is to open the metafile,
and then call one of the two "print" routines with the
CGM print style.

David,

  thanks for your reply. Though it is not documented it should work!
