(<i>Unix</i> users should beware of -<i>xv</i>’s claims: it has a tendency to downsample your bitmap to -your screen resolution.) -<p/>Special purpose applications <i>jpeg2ps</i> (which converts -JPEG files using PostScript level 2 functionality), -<i>bmeps</i> (which converts both JPEG and PNG -files) and <i>a2ping</i>/<i>sam2p</i> (which convert a -bewildering array of bitmap formats to EPS or PDF files; -<i>sam2p</i> is one of the engines that <i>a2ping</i> uses) -are also considered “good bets”. -<p/><i>Bmeps</i> comes with patches to produce your own version of -<i>dvips</i> that can cope with JPEG and PNG direct, -using <i>bmeps</i>’s conversion library. <i>Dvips</i>, as -distributed by MiKTeX, comes with those patches built-in, but -assuming that capability destroys portability, and is only -recommendable if you are sure you will never want to share your -document. -<dl> -<dt><tt><i>a2ping</i></tt><dd><a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/graphics/a2ping.zip">graphics/a2ping</a> (<a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/graphics/a2ping.tar.gz">gzipped tar</a>, <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/graphics/a2ping/">browse</a>) -<dt><tt><i>bmeps</i></tt><dd><a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/support/bmeps.zip">support/bmeps</a> (<a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/support/bmeps.tar.gz">gzipped tar</a>, <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/support/bmeps/">browse</a>) -<dt><tt><i>jpeg2ps</i></tt><dd><a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/nonfree/support/jpeg2ps.zip">nonfree/support/jpeg2ps</a> (<a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/nonfree/support/jpeg2ps.tar.gz">gzipped tar</a>, <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/nonfree/support/jpeg2ps/">browse</a>) -<dt><tt><i>sam2p</i></tt><dd><a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/graphics/sam2p.zip">graphics/sam2p</a> (<a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/graphics/sam2p.tar.gz">gzipped tar</a>, <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/graphics/sam2p/">browse</a>) -</dl> -<p/><p>This question on the Web: <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=dvipsgraphics">http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=dvipsgraphics</a> -</body> |
