%%Can anyone give me some clues on producing hardcopy output from GRASS 4.1
%%(on Sun running open windows) onto an HP-GL/2 language Hewlitt Packard
%%DraftMaster SX ?
GRASS-MAPGEN has a driver for the HP650c plotter that supports hpgl2
language. This driver will more than likely work on the HPDraftmaster SX.
The first 7 lines of the driver output use PJL (printer job language) to
set the hp650c in the correct mode. These lines may need editing.
This driver reads a system or user defined .colortable/.width650 file to set
pen colors and line widths. The HPdraftmaster SX does not support this. I
am not sure how it will handle this value added information.
You can always opt to set the plotter in hpgl mode and use the original
MAPGEN hpgl driver.
