I'm using convert (from imagemagick) to crop and convert pbm images into encapsulated postscript. When I prefix the output filename with eps2: I get a very compact EPS file where the image data is contained as binary like this:
userdict begin %%BeginData: 72200 Binary Bytes DisplayImage [a few lines of integers] [72200 binary bytes, presumably] %%EndData end The resulting image is displayable (e.g., in okular), but when it gets imported into groff with either .PSPIC or \X'ps: import ...' only the first part of the binary gets cleanly imported into the PostScript output (up to the first newline character) and the rest becomes a series of ^M's -- which print black. I realize that up to now all the images I've been converting to EPS for use in groff contain the image in ASCII format, but I was hoping to reduce file size with this "convert" output. As far as I can tell, the output conforms to PS LanguageLevel 2 (flagged by the "eps2:" prefix in the convert commandline). Is there some other flag or option I've overlooked?
