Bitmaps and Halftones with BM2FO NT
Friedhelm Sowa · 1991
The program BM2FONT converts different kinds of bitmap files to TEX fonts and writes an input file for integration of those graphics into documents. It is the link between a lot of graphic systems and m. The main part of BM2FONT is the conversion of colored pictures to halftone output. This paper describes the method of graphics integration done by BM2FONT and the most important aspects of the program. Integration of graphics into TEX has been done in many ways within the last few years. Most of those methods use the \\special{whatever) primitive that needs the special features of driver programs. Most of the public domain drivers do not support this kind of graphics integration. That seems to be the reason why the special primitive
