Wanted: Graphics program for apple II (does it exist?)



I'm posting this to this NG for a friend that CAN NOT post
to the Usenet.  But, he can read your reply!
-----------------------------------------------------

I am looking for a graphics program for the apple II.

Graphics magician and a few other programs would store
the 'strokes' of your brush, not the actual bitmap of
the graphic.  This saved space on the disk.
When you drew a circle, it would store the center
coordinate of the circle, circumference, and color.  When
you would draw a line it would store the coordinates
of the start and of the end of the line.

What I seek:

I seek a program that will take an HGR graphic and convert
it into the above mentioned form.

Example:

draw a horizontal line on the HGR screen:
HPLOT 0,100 to 100,100

save the graphic:
BSAVE GRAPHIC, a$2000,L8192

run the program I seek
choose "GRAPHIC" as the HGR source file.

The program would output
HPLOT 0,100 to 100,100
or "there is one line in the graphic, from 0,100 to 100,100"

Is there any such program?

I have a program in the works that will do this, and I would
like to see how other people may have done it for reference
and ideas.

Reply to this group with an email address and
I'll send you a message.
