I've been wondering, is there any kind of
application out there that
would let one create a Tek format image out of -- say -- a PNG (or
other similar bitmap), or from a vector format (like SVG)?
Gnuplot can drive it, I think. And it's certainlly capable of drawing
graphs that aren't "simple".
Ghostscript seems to be able to turn postscript into some dialect of Tek
lingo. I played with this in xterm at one point.
There are some tracers that convert bitmap images into vector ones,
which might be fun. potrace and autotrace can both put out postscript,
for example. Serial data rate will make anything large a waiting
game...
