Using HP2XX a HP-GL Converter: Option Summary.

In the following, options are grouped into subjects and are listed alphabetically within each subject. Both long options and short (one-letter) options are listed, where short options appear in parentheses. 

Except for the +DPI option, there is a one-to-one correspondence between long and short options. You may use either long or short options. Mixing long and short options is acceptable.

Option parameter names suggest the expected data type, e. g., `--rotate (-r) float' means that option `--rotate' or its corresponding short form `-r' expect a parameter of type `float'.
General options
`--pencolors (-c) string'
    Pen color(s), a string of 1 to 8 digits. Valid digits: 0...7 (0=Background or off, 1=Foreground, 2=Red, 3=Green, 4=Blue, 5=Cyan, 6=Magenta, 7=Yellow). Default: `11111111'
`--outfile (-f) string'
    Name of output file. If omitted, hp2xx generates the name from the input file name and the current mode string. `-f-' causes hp2xx to write to stdout. Default: none.
`--logfile (-l) string'
    Name of log file. If given, diagnostics go into this file, else to stderr. Remark: `-q' inhibits all diagnostics!
`--mode (-m) string'
    Mode string. Valid: string =
      `cad'  (TeXcad-compatible line generation using \special{em:...}),
      `em'   (more efficient line drawing with E. Mattes's TeX \special{em:...}),
      `eps'  (Encapsulated PostScript),
      `hpgl' (simplified HP-GL, useful for imports),
      `img'  (e.g., GEM's Image format),
      `mf'   (Metafont source),
      `pbm'  (Portable Bitmap),
      `pcl'  (HP-PCL Level 3),
      `pcx'  (Paintbrush format),
      `pre'  (Preview mode; no output!),
      `rgip' (Uniplex RGIP vector format),
      `tex'  (line drawing with TeX / epic macros)
    Occasionally available (unsupported) modes:
      `ilbm' (e.g., for AMIGA: ILBM/IFF format),
      `pac'  (e.g., for ATARI/STAD),
      `pic'  (e.g., for ATARI/Signum).

    Default: `pre'.
`--pensize (-p) string'
    Pensize(s), a string of 1 to 8 digits. Valid digits: 0...9 (unit = 1/10 mm) for vector modes, 0...4 (unit = pixel) for raster modes. Default: `11111111'
`--pages (-P) int[:[int]]'
    Select HP-GL page int or a page range. Valid: int integer and >= 0. Default: int = 0 (all pages).
`--quiet (-q)'
    Quiet mode (no diagnostic output).
`--rotation (-r) float'
    Rotation angle [deg]. E.g., `-r90' gives landscape. Default: 0.0
`--swapfile (-s) string'
    Name of swap file. Default: string = `hp2xx.swp'. 

Size controls.
`--aspectfactor (-a) float'
    Aspect factor. Valid: float > 0.0. Use float > 1.0 for landscape and float < 1.0 for portrait deformations. Default: float = 1.0
`--height (-h) float'
    (Upper limit of) height of picture in mm. Default: float=200.0
`--width (-w) float'
    (Upper limit of) width of picture in mm. Default: float=200.0
`--x0 (-x) float'
    Pre-set left limit of HP-GL coordinate range to float (rarely used).
`--x1 (-X) float'
    Pre-set right limit of HP-GL coordinate range to float (rarely used).
`--y0 (-y) float'
    Pre-set lower limit of HP-GL coordinate range to float (rarely used).
`--y1 (-Y) float'
    Pre-set upper limit of HP-GL coordinate range to float (rarely used).
`--truesize (-t)'
    Ignore options `-a -h -w' (aspect factor, height, width). Size information will come from the HP-GL intrinsic data. WARNING: Avoid using option `-r' (rotate) as it works on top of HP-GL and thus will distort the detected HP-GL sizes.

Raster format controls.
`--DPI (-d) int'
    Set x resolution to int dots per inch (DPI). If not overridden by `-D', sets also y resolution to int DPI. Valid: int integer and > 0. Default: int = 75.
`--DPI_x (-d) int'
    Same as `--DPI'
`--DPI_y (-D) int'
    Set y resolution to int DPI. int integer and > 0. Default: int = 75.
PCL specifics.
`--PCL_formfeed (-F)'
    Send a FormFeed after graphics data. Default: No FormFeed.
`--PCL_init (-i)'
    Pre-initialize printer. Default: No pre-init
`--PCL_Deskjet (-S) int'
    Use (Deskjet) Special commands. int = 0 deactivates this option, int = 1 enables b/w mode, int = 3 is intended for DJ500C (CMY) color support, int = 4 supports DJ550C (CMYK mode).
`--DPI_x (-d) int'
    Set x resolution (see above): Valid here: int = 75, 100, 150, 300
`--DPI_y (-D) int'
    Set y resolution (see above). Invalid here!
Margins.
(Apply to modes `eps', `pcl', `pre' ONLY)
`--xoffset (-o) float'
    X offset of picture (left margin) in mm. Valid: float >= 0.0, default: float=0.0
`--yoffset (-O) float'
    Y offset of picture (upper margin) in mm. Valid: float >= 0.0, default: float=0.0
