DECUS Heritage
Version: 2.K, February 1988
Submitted By: Dr. N.S. Hoult, Racal Research Ltd.
Operating System: VAX/VMS V4.5, V4.6
Source Language: VAX FORTRAN, DCL
Keywords: Graphics, Hewlett Packard, ReGIS
Software Requirements: FORTRAN run-time system
Memory Requirements: 36KB
Changes & Improvements: Mixed absolute and relative coordinates are allowed.
Restrictions: Not all ReGIS commands are interpreted, although all are accepted.
Abstract: This program converts a file of ReGIS graphics commands, as used by the VT125 and VT240 terminals, into Hewlett-Packard Graphics Language (HP-GL), as used on the 7580B plotter. It sends them to a file or directly to the plotter, which may be connected "in-line" with the terminal. Other plotters which accept HP-GL may be accommodated by slight changes to the initialization sequences. All ReGIS commands are parsed, but only a subset (sufficient for line graphs with labelling, and including macrographs) is sent to the plotter. The resulting graphs may be scaled to fit the paper, or specified explicitly as A1, A2, etc., or in mm. The program is designed to facilitate the addition of extra ReGIS commands.
