Examples of these functions include converting to a specific output format, rotating or scaling input data formats to fit any output paper size, modifying the attributes of a plot (pens, fills, colors, etc.), converting to compact raster formats (TIFF), displaying images on screen and plotting files out of archives or scanners.

The input and output configuration of gXconvert can be done easily to suit the needs of an individual application. It satisfies two needs. First, the configuration can be used to preserve the exact same output as the original file format even though the conversion has created a new file format. Integrity is retained in measures and details. If the input format does not provide all information needed to create the output format - color tables, pens and even graphics elements can be configured for the missing parts.

Also, this modification functionality in conversions can work the same way if the output needs to look different, or the input file contains features (fonts, linestyles, etc.) not supported by the device or output format. gXconvert includes may popular predefined configurations to save setup time.
