Subject: DOCBOOK-APPS: EPS -> PNG with anti-aliasing
Folks, I thought some of you might be interested in this. If you're using DocBook to create documentation in a variety of formats, *and* you're using images, and one of your 'source' image formats is EPS then you may well have been using "eps2png", from http://www.squirrel.nl/people/jvromans/sw_eps2png.html The problem with eps2png is a limitation in Ghostscript -- it doesn't anti-alias the PNG images. To fix this, one of the FreeBSD contributors has written "peps", which can be used to convert EPS to PNG (and other formats) with anti-aliasing. peps can be downloaded[1] from http://www.whizkidtech.net/peps/ which also has some illustrations of the problem, and how peps solves it. N [1] If you're using FreeBSD then it's in the ports tree already. -- FreeBSD: The Power to Serve http://www.freebsd.org/ FreeBSD Documentation Project http://www.freebsd.org/docproj/ --- 15B8 3FFC DDB4 34B0 AA5F 94B7 93A8 0764 2C37 E375 ---
