HP2XX, A HP-GL Converter

B.1 General options

`--pencolors (-c) string'

Pen color(s), a string of 1 to 8 digits. Valid digits: 0...7 (0=Background or off, 1=Foreground, 2=Red, 3=Green, 4=Blue, 5=Cyan, 6=Magenta, 7=Yellow). Default: `11111111'

`--outfile (-f) string'

Name of output file. If omitted, hp2xx generates the name from the input file name and the current mode string. `-f-' causes hp2xx to write to stdout. Default: none.

`--logfile (-l) string'

Name of log file. If given, diagnostics go into this file, else to stderr. Remark: `-q' inhibits all diagnostics!

`--mode (-m) string'

Mode string. Valid: string =

`cad' (TeXcad-compatible line generation using \special{em:...}), `dxf' (Autocad Drawing Exchange Format), `em' (more efficient line drawing with E. Mattes's TeX \special{em:...}), `eps' (Encapsulated PostScript), `gpt' (Gnuplot input file), `hpgl' (simplified HP-GL, useful for imports), `img' (e.g., GEM's Image format), `jpg' (JPEG image format), `mf' (Metafont source), `nc' (G code for CNC engraving tools) `pbm' (Portable Bitmap (monochrome) or Portable Pixmap (color plots)), `pcl' (HP-PCL Level 3), `pcx' (Paintbrush format), `pdf' (Adobe Portable Document Format), `png' (Portable Network Graphics format), `pre' (Preview mode; no output!), `rgip' (Uniplex RGIP vector format), `svg' (Scalable Vector Graphics, for XML web pages) `tex' (line drawing with TeX / epic macros) `fig' (for Brian Smith's XFIG vector drawing program) `tiff' (TIFF tagged image file format) `esc2' (Epson Stylus printers)

Occasionally available (currently unsupported) modes:

`ilbm' (e.g., for AMIGA: ILBM/IFF format), `pac' (e.g., for ATARI/STAD), `pic' (e.g., for ATARI/Signum).

Default: `pre'.

`--nofill (-n)'

Ignore all polygon fill commands in the HPGL file(s). This may sometimes be necessary to improve readability of images at small scales (e.g. thumbnails in an overview listing), or to work around problems in the polygon fill code.

`--pensize (-p) string'

Pensize(s), a string of 1 to 8 digits. Valid digits: 0...9 (unit = 1/10 mm) for vector modes, 0...4 (unit = pixel) for raster modes. Default: `11111111'

`--pages (-P) int[:[int]]'

Select HP-GL page int or a page range. Valid: int integer and >= 0. Default: int = 0 (all pages).

`--quiet (-q)'

Quiet mode (no diagnostic output).

`--rotation (-r) float'

Rotation angle [deg]. E.g., `-r90' gives landscape. Default: 0.0

`--swapfile (-s) string'

Name of swap file. Default: string = `hp2xx.swp'.
