[comp.sys.sgi] 2D Drawing Tools

gt3930c@prism.gatech.EDU (ZUCCOLA) (09/18/90)

 Is there a simple 2D drawing program on the SGI like Cricket draw,macpaint
 etc., that outputs postscript files or other formats for easy conversioN? 
 (Cricket draw and macpaint draw simple things like circles,rectangles,text
 etc...).
			Thanx in advance,

   A while back I some one posted something called npsdraw and figure.
It ran on the 3000's and had PostScript capabilities.  I think it is in
the info-iris archives.  You might see if it works on the 4D's or if
they have a 4D version.  I think "nps" in npsdraw stands for Naval
Postgraduat School?

If you're running X, you might try any of idraw, xfig or xpic, all of
which match that description (more like MacDraw than MacPaint, though)
All are in the R4 distribution in contrib, and are available from
archives sites (try expo.lcs.mit.edu for xfig or xpic, try
interviews.stanford.edu for idraw -- it's part of the InterViews
toolkit.  You'll need a C++ compiler for the latter)
