821.0. "Need some drawings scanned into SIXEL" by PRSEA4::BROWN (Barclay Brown, Geneva EHQ SWAS) Wed Aug 19 1987 09:33

    I have some drawings I will need to include into a DOCUMENT document
    for printing on an LN03.  A year or so ago, we did an experiment
    where we had some drawings scanned and then made into SIXEL files
    which we included into our DOCUMENT file.
    
    Is this still the best way to include original artwork?
    
    I'm looking for some help, specifically some who will (out of the
    kindness of their heart, or perhaps for a DECdinner) be willing
    to scan about 20 pieces of artwork and send us the SIXEL files.
    
    Oh, you can pick up the dinner in Paris and I'll give you a free
    city tour, if you like (transportation not included).
    
    Can someone help?  We would really appreciate it.
    
    From sunny Paris,

    I found a way to do this -- thanks.
821.2For those who also want something...IJSAPL::KLERKTheo de KlerkWed Aug 26 1987 11:4416
 If you have a sixel terminal (VT240,241,330) and in need of a graphic ->
 sixel converter, one of the many flavours floating around can be copied
 from
     IJSAPL::DOC$LOCAL_TOOLS:MAKE_SIXEL.COM 
                      ,,     MAKE_SIXEL.FOR

 This FORtran file must be compiled and the EXE put in DOC$LOCAL_TOOLS too.
 It just makes a screen dump into the sixel file. Sixelizing takes some 
 time, so be patient.

P.S.
I'm curious about GRED. I've seen it mentioned. What is it and where can I
get any graphics tool useful for Document? (I'm not a DECwest documentalist -
just a poor s/w specialist trying to please others...)
