In the last months I've seen a couple of requests for an HPGL to PostScript converter. I wrote such a program half a year ago, and I know of other implementations of the same idea. I wrote it because I didn't like the way the other programs handled pen thickness (which changed according to scaling). I never got around to write any docs, however, and the program can handle all of HPGL except for alpha commands (yes, it does handle filled polygons). I tried to contact each requester a couple of times, but it always bounced back, so I'm trying this. If you are interested, please send mail to the address below (if possible suggesting a working back path), I'll answer as quickly as I can. -- Federico Heinz "In Dubio Pro Libido" From USA: ...!pyramid!\ | Beusselstr. 21 From elsewhere: ...!mcvax!unido!tub!actisb!federico | 1000 Berlin 21 Tel: (030) 396 77 92 | F.R.

I received so many requests for my converter, that I decided to post it in comp.sources.unix (although it's not Unix-specific, I didn't find a better place for it). Allow for some moderation delay, and yuo should get it. The program is public domain, under the same license conditions as the GNU software.

I have a problem I'd like to get some help with. I am trying to
convert output from ViewLogic's Schematic Capture program into PS,
but there is no option for this. It allows output for HPGL, HPLJ,
HPLJ+, etc. So, I am looking for a program that will convert HPGL
(or HP LaserJet output, that will work) into PostScript. I saw a
program like this locally, but can't locate it now. If anyone has
such a program, I'd appriciate knowing where to get it. Thanks
for your help.

Ok guys, this very question was asked by someone else a couple of weeks ago and he DIDN'T get ONE postive response so I will try asking AGAIN. I need an HPGL to PostScript converter that supports ALL of HPGL and not just a subset. I have grabbed the hpgl2ps from the archives, but it only supports a subset of HPGL. Does anyone know of a COMPLETE implementation? Thanks in advance. I will post a summary, assuming I get any responses. --- W.
