(Though <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) and +<i>bmeps</i> (which converts both JPEG and PNG +files) are also considered "good bets". <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. +<dl> +<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>) +</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> |
