[alt.graphics.pixutils] Is there a converter from HPGL file to other display format?

I have a package that can create a Hewlett Packard Graphics Language
(HPGL) file, that is a file of commands to drive a HP plotter.
However I would like to view the image of the plot in X-windows before
plotting.

Is there a utility that can convert a HPGL file to some other graphics
format?  I can handle a lot of formats, like,

Format     Description
------------------------------------------------------------------------
cgm        Computer Graphics Metafile
hdf        Hierarchical Data File
iff        Sun TAAC Image File Format
mpnt       Apple Macintosh MacPaint file
pic        PIXAR picture file
pict       Apple Macintosh QuickDraw/PICT file
pix        Alias image file
ps         PostScript
ras        Sun Rasterfile
rgb        SGI RGB image file
rla        Wavefront raster image file
synu       Synu image file
tiff       Tagged image file
x          Stardent AVS X image file
xbm        X11 bitmap file
xwd        X Window System window dump image file


Any pointers are appreciated.
