| Hi all,
|
| Apologies for a series of very much newbie questions.
|
| My *goal* is to be able to automatically generate high-quality vector
| graphics. I have a standard template ("My name is XXXX" for example) in
| EPS, and I want to be able to fill in the templates with 4 characters, each
| individually stored as EPS files.
|
| My hope was to be able to use IM to translate/place these individual
| single-character EPS files on top of the template file... for example
| merging j.eps, o.eps, e.eps, and y.eps to form "My name is JOEY", still in
| vector format that allows different scalings without any loss. Right now,
| the end result I'm seeing looks pixelated...
|
| Is this possible using IM? I think I'm starting to understand that
| ghostscript's role in all of this is to rasterize the EPS files... and IM is
| only working with the raster'ed files, not the original vector images.
| What's the best solution, then? Are there command-line options that I can
| feed into ghostscript (through IM) that controls the zoom/size of the image
| that the EPS is rendered into?
|
| What other options can I use (assuming space/time not an issue) to get the
| *best* quality output with these EPS files, for any dynamic size?
|
| Or should I really be trying to figure out how to modify the EPS files
| directly to do what I want, and skip IM entirely?
|
IM is not a vector graphics processor.
A word about Vector Image formats

I converts images to rasters for processing.
The above also contains some known alturnatives.
