HPGL/2 interpreter HPGS was written by EV-i Informationstechnologie GmbH in 2004 as a component of a closed internet platform for document exchange.

In the beginning we thought, that it should not be necessary to reinvent the wheel and to write an own HPGL/2 interpreter.

After evaluating several alternatives we came to the conclusion, that it would be feasible to have an open source code basis.

So after two weeks of intensive hacking, the first running version of hpgs was available and since then the program has evolved to meet the above mentioned goals.

In order to achieve a reasonable quality of the parser we keep a testsuite of real-world HPGL/2 files, which at the moment is not part of hpgs, because these files may contain sensible data of our customers.

Here are some key features of "HPGS HPGl Script":
Interpretation of all modern HPGL/2 features.
Handling of all paper formats.
Processing of vector data through a Postscript like API.
Output to native vector graphics formats such as eps.
State of the art rendering to pixmaps including anti-aliasing.
Processing of inlined PCL images.

What's New in This Release:
This is the first stable release.
It has undergone extensive testing on a large test suite, and has been checked for memory leaks and performance bottlenecks.
It comes with internationalization support and a German translation.
