GRAPHCAP(5NCARG)

💖 GRAPHCAP 💖 (it's a 5NCARG situation, bestie)

okay so quick vibe check: this is the graphcap page from NCAR GRAPHICS, and it's basically the master list of every device definition file that plays nice with the CGM interpreters ctrans and ictrans. no cap. it's a roster, it's a lineup, it's the guest list at the party 🎀

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

every single one of these is a supported NCAR Graphics device definition file. read 'em and weep (affectionately) 💅

• a60 — Abekas a60 raster image format. slay.
• adm5 — ADM5, but it's rolling with the DEC RG1500 graphics board.
• aed.a — AED512, chillin' in ASCII mode.
• aed.b — AED512, but make it binary mode.
• avs — Application Visualization System raster image format.
• balsml — HI DMP-29 in small chart mode. tiny chart energy 🧚
• ditroff — Device-independent troff. classic behavior.
• form — a literal blank form for user-defined graphcap definitions. build-a-bear but for graphcaps 🧸
• CTXT — produces a human-readable ASCII dump of the input. it just tells you things. iconic.
• hdf — NCSA's HDF (Hierarchical Data Format) formatted raster file.
• hp2648a — HP2648A graphics terminal.
• hp150 — HP150 personal computer.
• hp7475a — HP7475a six pen plotter. six pens!! the way that it has six pens 😭
• hp7510a — HP7510a color film recorder.
• hpgl — basic support for the HP-GL language in its most elementary form. this graphcap is here for the older printers/plotters that do not support the full HP-GL/2 language as standardized by HP. grandma device, we respect her 🫶
• hpgl2 — support for the HP-GL/2 language as standardized by HP. use this graphcap for devices that support HP-GL/2 but don't support either the dual context extensions (device accepts languages in addition to HP-GL/2) or the palette extensions (allows for user-defined colors).
• hpgl2.dual — support for the HP-GL/2 language as standardized by HP, running with the dual context extensions (device accepts languages in addition to HP-GL/2). if the device also supports the palette extensions, use the hpgl2pe.dual graphcap instead. read the room, pick the right one 💅
• hpgl2pe — support for the HP-GL/2 language as standardized by HP, running with the palette extensions (allows for user-defined colors). if the device also supports the dual context extensions (device accepts languages in addition to HP-GL/2), use the hpgl2pe.dual graphcap.
• hpgl2pe.dual — support for the HP-GL/2 language as standardized by HP, running with the palette extensions (allows for user-defined colors) and the dual context extensions (device accepts languages in addition to HP-GL/2). the full package. main character energy 👑
• hppcl — produces files for the HP LaserJet family of printers (LaserJet, LaserJet Plus, LaserJet Series II, LaserJet 500 Plus, etc.); hppcl is meant to replace the now obsolete hpljxxx graphcaps. the ctrans "-dpi" and "-landscape" options can be used for various resolutions and picture positioning. glow up achieved ✨
• imagen — graphcap for the IMAGEN 8/300 laser printer in graphics landscape mode.
• imagen.port — graphcap for the IMAGEN 8/300 laser printer in graphics portrait mode. (yes, .port = portrait, we love a naming convention 💖)
• nrif — NCAR Raster Interchange Format formatted raster file.
• pc.mono — this graphcap is used to drive PCPLOT on IBM and compatible PC's.
• ps.color — Color PostScript graphcap (portrait mode).
• ps.land.color — Color PostScript graphcap (landscape mode).
• ps.land.mono — Black and white PostScript (landscape mode).
• ps.mono — Black and white PostScript (portrait mode).
• qms800 — QMS800 laser printer.
• r6211 — RAMTEK 6211 in TEKTRONIX compatible mode.
• s100 — SELINAR HiREZ100 graphics terminal.
• sgi — Silicon Graphics raster image format.
• sun — Sun formatted raster file.
• t4010 — Tektronix 4010 and 4012.
• t4025 — TEKTRONIX 4025 graphics terminal.
• t4105 — TEKTRONIX 4105 color graphics terminal.
• t4107 — TEKTRONIX 4107 color graphics terminal.
• t4107.seg — TEKTRONIX 4107 color graphics terminal.
• t4115 — TEKTRONIX 4115 color graphics terminal.
• t4115.seg — TEKTRONIX 4115 color graphics terminal.
• tal1590 — Talaris 1590 plotter.
• tekalike — TEKALIKE program on the APPLE MACINTOSH. retro mac rep 🍓
• versaterm — VERSATERM program on the APPLE MACINTOSH.
• vt100 — VT100 with Digital Engeering VT640 retrofit.
• vt125 — VT125 graphics terminal.
• vt220 — VT220 with Selinar SG220 graphics retrofit board.
• vt330 — VT330 graphics terminal.
• vt340 — VT340 graphics terminal (returns with white foreground and black background).
• vt340w — VT340 graphics terminal (returns with black foreground and white background). the inverse twin, the ✨remix✨
• X11 — X Window System interface.
• xwd — X11 xwd formatted raster file.

note: the hpljxxx graphcaps are obsolete now — hppcl is the replacement, so don't come crying to the old ones, bestie 😭

okay that's the whole page, you ate that 🎀 this was NCAR, dated March 1994, and the page itself is GRAPHCAP(5NCARG). go forth and plot, bestie 💅✨🦋
