I mean the format used in the BRL tools, i.e., the 24 bit per pixel color image format read by such utilities as pix-bw, etc. The files are called file.pix usually. What I'd like to be able to do is plot (on a large HP plotter) an image (mostly vectors) displayed on the IRIS screen, without recoding my graphics to use other plotting primatives discussed in the libplot documentation from BRL. I've got a utility that will dump the screen into .pix format, and then laser print on an Imagen laser printer (using pix-bw and bw-impress), but what about a nice big color plot? Has anyone done this? The main step is to convert the file from raster to vector format...
