I'm looking for a drawing program (preferably object-oriented) which
runs on a bitmapped workstation that produces pictures which can be
integrated with either ditroff or TeX. Something like MacDraw would
probably be ideal. Since we have several types of laser printers with
different resolutions, something which generates a vector
representation would probably be better than something which simply
builds bitmaps (since bitmaps seem to be hard to scale properly), but
don't let that stop you from responding to this request. We do lots
of drawings in our papers out here, and are currently using pic to do
them, but an interactive, mouse-oriented system would make things go
much faster. Please don't flame me telling me that we should use a
WYSIWYG system for typesetting; that option is not open to us at this
time. Please respond via *mail*. If you would like a list of the
responses that I get, send me mail about that too. If enough people
are interested, I'll summarize to the net.
