Klaus But shouldn't the postscript import take the encapsulated file directly? If you convert to jpeg, then you are not testing SO/OO postscript import. You are testing ghostscript's postscript parsing and SO/OO's jpeg import. Of course, SO/OO surely call ghostscript anyway. But, do they do so correctly? Is jpeg the format SO/OO use to store their imported postscript? -- ++···+ · Roger Oberholtzer · E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]· · OPQ Systems AB · WWW: http://www.opq.se/ · · Erik Dahlbergsgatan 41-43 ·Phone: Int + 46 8 314223 · · 115 34 Stockholm · Mobile: Int + 46 733 621657 · · Sweden · Fax: Int + 46 8 302602 · ++···+ ___ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc - http://smtp.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users

Is jpeg the format SO/OO use to store their imported postscript? There is no postscript import into OO - at least I didn't find it. As to eps: In the grahics import dialog, this is listed as one of the available formats, but when you try to import eg /usr/share/ghostscript/7.07/examples/ridt91.eps, only some tags are read in text format (title, creator). So it seems that you have to convert ps/eps to one of the types which OO can handle, and those are mainly bitmap formats.

SO 7: importing postscript
I tried to import some postscript files (GNUplots) into SO 7. I first converted them to epsi with ps2espi. They display fine in gv but look lousy in SO. If converted from ps to jpg, they look fine in SO when imported. gs is used by ps2epsi. Is there a way to tweak gs to make things look better when imported into SO ? Thanks, Joel BTW, exporting to PDF with SO 7 is just really, really nice. Now, if SO could just have a user interface for text editing that emulated vi(m), they just might have something! Don't laugh, vi(m) is the best way I know to do text editing. ___ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc - http://smtp.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
