Re: Convert BMP tp HPGl (.HPL files)

[Ray Ontko <rayo@ONTKO.COM>]

John,

There is a commercially available program called Hijaak Pro
(www.quarterdeck.com) which is alleged to be able to produce the
HPGL style of graphics used by SQR by -printer:hp.  I have never
used the program, so I can't necessarily recommend it.

One thing to keep in mind is that HPGL is a plotter-oriented
graphics language, not a bitmap storage standard.  Your image
must be essentially two-tone (foreground/background).  Shades
of various colors will not work.

BTW, there are a number of other messages on this topic if
you care to search the archive (it has a speedy new search
engine).  Visit:

Good luck.

Ray
