- This directory includes a few files in Tektronix format. You may use them
- to test the tek2plot utility, which displays Tektronix files on other,
- non-Tektronix, display devices.
-
- The file ocpred.tek contains a chart showing an astronomical event of 1986,
- prepared in 1985 at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. You
- may do:
-
- tek2plot -Tps --font-name HersheyGothicEnglish ocpred.tek > ocpred.ps
-
- to translate it to Postscript. The text will be rendered in
- HersheyGothicEnglish, which is an Old English font.
-
- HersheyGothicEnglish is not a fixed-width font, unlike the original
- Tektronix font. But if you add the `--position-chars' option on the
- command line, each character will be positioned individually, so as to
- match the position of the corresponding character in the original font.
-
- Similarly, you may do:
-
- tek2plot -Tps usmap.tek > usmap.ps
-
- to prepare a Postscript version of the USA map.
