Re: eps, html


/ eylem <eylem@ebox.de> was heard to say:
| 
| does a tool exist, which makes a eps file to gif

I've had good luck with Ghostscript available from the FSF and
Aladdin Systems. Also get the NETPBM tools (from, er, somewhere).

I usually do the following:

 1. Generate a PBM file from EPS using Ghostscript at a resolution of
    say 400dpi
 2. Crop the image with pnmcrop
 3. Rescale the image to 100dpi with antialiasing
 4. Convert the scaled image into a GIF or PNG.

That usually works out pretty well.

                                        Cheers,
                                          norm
