The hpcl5 driver reads from standard input, translates .PLT or .DXF format to HPCL5 format and writes to standard output.
$VARKON_BIN/hpcl5 -sS -wsL -xX -yY -vN -kK
Options preceded by a minus sign should be followed by their value without any separating blank spaces.
-sS |
- Set scale to S. Float value, default = 1.0 |
-wsL |
- Scale linewidth with L. Float value, default = 1.0 |
-xX |
- Set origin.x to X. Float value, default = 0.0 |
-yY |
- Set origin.y to Y. Float value, default = 0.0 |
-vN |
- Rotate n degrees. Float value, default = 0.0 |
-kK |
- Set curve accuracy to K. Float value, default = 1.0 |
$VARKON_BIN/hpcl5 <plofile.PLT >plotfile.HP -s0.5
Scales the image in plotfile.PLT to half size and writes the result to a new file named "plotfile.HP" using the postscript format.
$VARKON_BIN/hpcl5 <plofile.PLT -s0.5 | lp
Same as above but the result is sent to a spooled plotter.
$VARKON_BIN/hpcl5 <plofile.PLT -s0.5 -ws2.5 | lp
Same as above but linewidth is scaled by 2.5.
hpcl5 automatically recognizes if the input is in .PLT or DXF format. The -k option only applies to DXF format.
hpcl5 supports the WIDTH attribute for linewidth but not the PEN attribute for color.
