Draft:Plotler - HPGL output for pen plotters, engravers, laser projectors (!735) · Merge requests · poppler / poppler · GitLab

Due to an influx of spam, we have had to impose restrictions on new accounts. Please see this wiki page for instructions on how to get full permissions. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Update #1:

Due to abusive users subverting our CI facilities to mine cryptocurrency, breaking out of the container sandbox in the process, we have been forced to take actions to limit the usage of the public runners to official projects only.

The policy will be enforced on 2023-03-23 (or before if we detect abuses).

Please see this issue for more context and to see if and how you are impacted.

Open Jon Howell requested to merge jonh/poppler:plotler-new into master Dec 18, 2020

Hi Poppler crew,

In this request:

the first two commits refactor poppler/SplashOutputDev to enable code sharing with the proposed new output device, and expose a couple interfaces in splash as public.
the third commit adds the new code for utils/plotler, the utility that adds the new stroke-output mode.

Things I know need attention:

The third commit adds some PDFs that I test (manually) with. They don't go here. Can I get guidance on where they belong?
See Plot.h:136 for a comment/review request about a new matrix type.
There are no tests introduced. I'd like guidance on what would be appropriate here. Unit tests? How do you do stable end-to-end tests for graphical output?

Thanks for your advice!
