Hi, I search vec (hpgl) in GitHub and there is a demo image banner. How could I generate this banner file and export it as .plt extension?

Hi, thanks for asking! Not quite sure if you're asking about the banner image content or the process to create it. I make the image using 'hp2xx', a plotter emulator that takes in HPGL and generates a raster image. I think I fiddled about with the parameters to get the image size right. As for the image itself, it's 'dala2'. So to generate that in HPGL, you'll need to follow the build instructions in the README and then run './dala2 -o dala2.plt' for an A3-sized plot.

Hope that answers your question!
