- This directory includes a few files in Tektronix format. You may use them
- to test the `tek2plot' utility, which translates Tektronix files to other
- formats, or displays them on an X Window System display. Another source of
- Tektronix files is the SKYMAP astronomical display program (see
- http://tdc-www.harvard.edu/software/skymap ).
- In this directory, the file ocpred.tek contains a chart showing an
- astronomical event of 1986, prepared in 1985 at the Harvard-Smithsonian
- Center for Astrophysics. You may do:
- tek2plot -Tps --font-name HersheyGothicEnglish ocpred.tek > ocpred.ps
- to translate it to Postscript. The text will be rendered in
- HersheyGothicEnglish, which is an Old English font.
- HersheyGothicEnglish is not a fixed-width font, unlike the original
- Tektronix font. But if you add the `--position-chars' option on the
- command line, each character will be positioned individually, so as to
- match the position of the corresponding character in the original font.
- Similarly, you may do:
- tek2plot -Tps usmap.tek > usmap.ps
- to prepare a Postscript version of the USA map.
- You would use the `-T X' option, instead of `-T ps', to display the
- specified Tektronix file in a popped-up X window.
- To get a list of additional output formats that are supported by
- `tek2plot', type `tek2plot --help'.
