Regular India Ink is water resistant and works well with capillary pens. The Rapidograph pen is readily available in quite a range of diameters from .015" to .050" or so. The proper ink for such pens is fairly tricky because specific drying, cleaning and flowing properties are required. It's a major pain if you let the capillary dry out and glue the inner wire and tube together. I like HPGL because the syntax is the easiest to parse among all the graphics languages. It basically boils down to "SP<n>; select pen <n>", "PU<x,y>; jump to xy location with pen up" and "PD<x,y>; move from current location to next xy with pen down". There are a few extensions that allow a closed path to be defined with fill, but most of the commands are relatively state-free. -- Rick Walker _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
