File Description MMPlot.TXT Software Documentation (this file). HPGL.TXT Supported Language description. MMPlot.EXE Viewer MMPlot.REG Registration form. MMPLOT.DLL DLL required from MMPlot.EXE SAMPLE.PLT Demo-Plotfile. MMPLOT.INI will be generated in your WINDOWS directoy 4. USING Windows-Plotfile-Viewer. MMPlot is a utility to view plotfiles that use the Hewlett Packard-Graphic Language/2 (this includes the older HP-GL). You can specify plotfilename and/or inifilename as commandline options for example: MMPLOT.EXE SAMPLE.PLT SAMPLE.INI If you do not specify a special inifile, mmplot.ini will be used. You can get information about size and name of the plotfile in the "info"-Menue. Hardcopy sends the contents of the screen to your printer. Zoom to Print is now implemented. Print to Scale is implemented via the GDI. The best way of output would be from the menu file => send to plotter, if your printer or plotter is capable of HPGL. Please set the port options in the settings menu first. "Zoom in", "Zoom out" and "Zoom all" are available, also a Pan function. "Zoom in" is always active, just use the left mousekey and open an rectangle. "Zoom all" is just a press on the right mousekey. The arrow-keys move the picture in the arrow-direction. Zooming is not very comfortable in isotropic mode. It is recommended to switch to anisotropic if accurate zoom is required. The plotfile is initially shown in isotropic-mode, you can switch to anisotropic. With the arrow-keys you can move the picture in the arrow-direction. (+)/Insert and (-)/Delete zoom in and out, Home does a zoom all. If you have plotfiles for older penplotters with a pencarousel, you can configure the colour of the first 255 pens. The background color can be selected. Fill Type,spacing is emulated as dithered colors, the density can be corrected. Penwidth can be corrected. Default factor is 4 -> 0.25 * 4 = 1 Pixel 5.
