gEDA-user: Color PS output
Hi, I just tried to generate color Postscript output in both 1.5.2.20090328 and 1.5.4.20090830 and found that it won't work. Is anyone else having this problem? My gschemrc file has (output-color enabled) ; for color postscript output (image-color enabled) ; for color PNG output (enabled by default) copied from the wiki.

Could someone please tell me what am I doing wrong here? As noted in the NEWS file (under 1.5.2 changes): * Major, *backwards-incompatible* changes to color handling in `libgeda' and `gschem'. - All colors are specified using hexadecimal `#RRGGBB' or `#RRGGBBAA' syntax. - The print and display color maps are now separate. - A new Scheme syntax is used to inspect and modify color maps. - If you wish to use a light background in `gschem', add the line: (load (build-path geda-rc-path gschem-colormap-lightbg)) to your personal or project gschemrc file. Changing the display colour map *intentionally* doesn't change the print colour map (so you can optimise the colours for each). Unfortunately, PNG output still uses the display colour map (this is due to the way PNG output is implemented). To change the colours printed, you should edit (or copy and edit) the 'print- colormap-lightbg' file, and then edit your gafrc file to load it. Look in the 'system-gafrc' to see how to do that. It should still be possible to swap between colour and BW printing using the same mechanisms as before 1.5.2. If this is broken, please file a bug report, including the gschemrc gafrc files you used.

Thanks, Matt I couldn't get a white background even when I changed the on-screen colours - see my post from a week or two back. These black backgrounds are getting expensive to print Try adding the following to your gafrc: (load (build-path geda-rc-path print-colormap-lightbg)) As I mentioned in another e-mail, the print colours are *intentionall* decoupled from the display colours: what's comfortable to look at on-screen might not be as nice on paper.
