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 ?

Yes, but actually, we're only using a tiny subset of it in practice : mostly just the PA/PD/PU/LB commands.
any pics?
This is hpgl_from_patch.pd drawing itself as hpgl converted to line list converted to pixels : http://gridflow.ca/gallery/hpgl_from_patch.png
Note, however, that it assumes every object has exactly one inlet and one outlet.
