gXconvert is a universal conversion program for a variety of graphics file formats. This includes conversion between all important raster, vector and hybrid formats. Individual input filters are used to read the different formats, and they can be converted to nearly all important output formats in today's market.

The main highlights of the product includes plotting and printing to graphical output devices, connectivity to and integration into an archiving and documentation retrieval system, displaying drawings on-line and converting formats for transfer between applications.

Features & Benefits:

• Supported input formats: CGM and CGM+, HPGL, HPGL/2 and HP RTL, CalComp (906/907, HCBS), Versatec Random Format, GKS Metafile, PostScript and PDF, Raster (TIFF, G1-G5, XWD, Intergraph Raster, Epson, etc.), CALS (Rastertype 1 and 2), CAD Plotting (Tape9, Anvil) and Image Formats (Catia Image, SGI Image).
• Supported output formats: HPGL and HPGL/2, CGM, CalComp (CCRF), CalComp (906/907, HCBS), Raster Image File 1 (TIFF-G1, G4 and G5, CCITT G4, CALS Rastertype1), Raster Image File 2 (XWD, Windows BMP, X11 Bitmap, PCX), Raster Printer (PCL, Epson, NEC, IBM-Proprinter, Mannesmann Tally), Raster Plotter (HP-RTL, NovaJet-RTL, Siemens 2050), Versatec (VCGL, VCRF, etc.), Versatec (Compacted Raster), DXF, Windows-Metafile (WMF), Canon, PostScript, GIF and BGL.
• Examples of these functions include converting to a specific output format, rotating or scaling input data formats to fit any output paper size, modifying the attributes of a plot (pens, fills, colors, etc.), converting to compact raster formats (TIFF), displaying images on screen and plotting files out of archives or scanners.
• The input and output configuration can be done easily to suit the needs of an individual application. It satisfies two needs: First, the configuration can be used to preserve the exact same output as the original file format even though the conversion has created a new file format. Integrity is retained in measures and details. If the input format does not provide all information needed to create the output format - color tables, pens and even graphics elements can be configured for the missing parts. Also, this modification functionality in conversions can work the same way if the output needs to look different, or the input file contains features (fonts, linestyles, etc.) not supported by the device or output format. gXconvert includes many popular predefined configurations to save setup time.
• Supported operating systems: SunOS, Solaris, AIX, IRIX, HPUX, Digital UNIX, OpenVMS & VMS, Ultrix, Linux and MS-Windows, MS-DOS, Windows NT.
• Can be easily integrated into an existing program environment. It can be activated from the command line, shell script, or from inside an application.
