Is there a SuSE tool to convert images from PNG to EPS ??? I tried Gimp but it only converts to PS and I need encapsulated PS to insert figures in a paper. Thank you Mem

Is there a SuSE tool to convert images from PNG to EPS ???
convert which is part of ImageMagick Charles -- "Problem solving under linux has never been the circus that it is under AIX." (By Pete Ehlke in comp.unix.aix)
Maura: I think that the gimp is lying to you. The files it generates as postscript seem to be eps files. For example, look at the first couple of lines of a file created that way: %!PS-Adobe-3.0 EPSF-3.0 %%Creator: GIMP PostScript file plugin V 1.12 by Peter Kirchgessner Anyway, I have never had a problem inserting these into a paper. However, if you still want another tool, make sure you have ImageMagick installed and use its utility "convert" (see man convert for further details). Best regards, Alex.

By the way: gimp is actually not lying. If you select to save a picture as postscript it will give you a choice as to whether you would like to save it as an encapsulated postscript or not. All you have to do in order to make it visible from the filename is to insert an 'e' before the ps suffix when you select the filename to save to. Cheers, Alex.

If you want to do it (without clicking) via command line: Use a command line tool (e.g. "convert" in package "ImageMagick") to create PostScript (see "man convert"). If you have PostScript then you can use Ghostscript to create encapsulated PostScript with the Ghostscript device "epswrite". See the Administration manual and "man gs" regarding Ghostscript.

Are you using LaTeX to write your paper? If so, you don't need to use EPS. PNG will work too. Victor
