Drawj2d creates technical line drawings using a descriptive language. It writes pdf, svg, eps, emf and dxf vector graphics or png images. It runs on all platforms that run Java. It is inspired by Asymptote but with a tcl-like syntax and 2D only.
Features
- DRAW lines, points, circles, ellipses, arcs, parabolas, arrows and dimension lines
- WRITE labels using any font. LaTeX typesetting (computer modern font) supported.
- IMPORT images, pdf, svg, dxf
- SET color, line width and line type: solid, dotted, dashdotted
- DRAW TO SCALE 1:50, 1:100, 1:20
- different output formats Vector formats: pdf (Acrobat Reader, pdfLaTeX), svg (Browser, OpenOffice/LibreOffice), eps (LaTeX), emf (Microsoft Word). Bitmap formats png, bmp. Intermediate formats: tikz (LaTeX), bgd (Fachwerk), hcl (Drawj2d), rm (reMarkable), dxf (CAD).
- platform independent Drawj2d runs on every platform which runs Java: Linux, Windows, Mac OS X, Unix
- reusable drawings Drawings can be parametrised using variables.
- programming language Built in string based (tcl-like) scripting language Hecl (hcl) allows advanced features and extensibility.
- mavscript compatible Mavscript templates can embed calls to Drawj2d. Thus drawings can be created that depend on calculations.
- statics functions for engineers E.g. force arrows have their own scale, force vector addition respects equilibrium.

Excellent piece of software to work with the Remarkable tablet. I do not use HCL drawings, but the side feature of importing pdf files as Remarkable notebooks (that can be edited just as any Remarkable notebook) is extemely helpful. Unfortunately the explanation of the import process and arguments needed is hidden deep in the manual. Would prefer if the command *and full explanation* (or at least a link to the full explanation) were provided upfront.
