Subject: Re: [ModularSynthPanels] HPGL for FPD

Hi Dave,

I got Inkscape for the same reason, and it does seem to work! One thing I've not been able to achieve though is converting text into HPGL, it will convert everything else. You may not have noticed if you're just using it for symbols, but if anyone has any ideas on how to convert text to HPGL using Inkscape I'd be most appreciative!

I've been working on getting some FPD files together for Ken Stone's
Quad Logic Gates and wanted to use graphic representations instead of
text. To that end I needed to be able to import HPGL files and also to
create them.

I downloaded the free InkScape program which is a scalable vector
graphics program that can export HPGL. I was able to create a suitable
OR symbol and import into FPD. So a good solution for those trying to
create graphics for FPD files. The interface is a little hard to get
used to because the SVG files tend to work with paths rather than pixels
but it's doable.
