%%name: hp2xx

%%short-description: Reads HP-GL files, and converts them into a
variety of raster and vector output formats.
 
%%full-description: Hp2xx first converts all HP-GL data into pure
vectors and buffers them internally. It then converts these vectors
into a specified output format (vector modes), or rasterizes them
(raster modes) on an internal bitmap. In raster modes, the program
then translates the bitmap into the output format. 

The supported output formats include Encapsulated PostScript, PCX,
IMG, TIFF, PNG, and several formats intended to facilitate the
generation of graphics within TeX documents. Output is also printable
on PCL-capable devices (eg the Hewlett-packard LaserJet series), and
it may be used as a HP-GL previewer on many platforms, eg X11 and DOS
(VGA).
