Btw I'm currently developing several other pieces in my HPGL (plotter)
chain tool :
[hpgl_to_lines], converter from hpgl to line segments
[hpgl_objectbox], to draw an objectbox as hpgl (one inlet, one outlet)
[hpgl_messagebox], to draw a messagebox as hpgl (one inlet, one outlet)
[hpgl_from_patch], convert from pd patch format to hpgl
In those cases, when it says "from hpgl" and "to hpgl", those are pd
messages, and you need [plotter_parser] to parse hpgl bytes, and/or
[plotter_control] to produce hpgl bytes (or neither if you only use the
hpgl messages as an intermediate format between two other things).
Is anyone else interested in that kind of thing ?
