(This is basically a repost of an article posted a few months ago for those
who may not have seen it then.)

I have written a PV-WAVE and IDL driver for SIXEL devices. SIXEL stands for
"six pixels" and is DEC's protocol for sending bit-mapped images to
printers and terminals. It is supported by devices like the LN03 printer,
some newer VT terminals and dot matrix printers.

For the LN03+ printer the PV-WAVE/IDL Tektronix driver can be used for
vector graphics. However, the Tektronix driver does not support grey-scale
images, while my SIXEL driver does. The SIXEL driver is a full-blown
PV-WAVE/IDL device driver and supports all of the graphics and imaging
routines.

Note that Precision Visuals has said that they will be distributing the
driver I wrote with future releases of PV-WAVE. 

Anyone who would like to get a copy of the source code and documentation
for this driver can send me e-mail at the address below.
