This package contains the imgtops and epstoimg utilities. This is version 1.0; you should always be able to find the latest version at
http://imgtops.sourceforge.net/
imgtops converts a wide variety of bitmap image formats (jpg, png, gif, tif, bmp, and others) into Encapsulated PostScript documents, using PostScript languagelevel 2 and 3 features to minimize the size of the resulting output files.
epstoimg uses the free Ghostscript interpreter to produce bitmap images from PostScript source files. Either PS or EPS files may be used as input; the "e" in the program name is to avoid a conflict with another, similar utility.
Both programs require:
- Python 2.2 or higher -- http://www.python.org/
- the Python Imaging Library -- http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/
epstoimg also requires:
- Ghostscript -- http://www.ghostscript.com/
INSTALLATION
Start the installation by typing:
python setup.py install
and follow the prompts. If you don't have a C compiler, you can install a pure Python implementation by typing:
python setup-pure.py install
instead. The pure version of imgtops can be significantly slower, depending on the image and options selected. (epstoimg is unaffected.)
Once installed, the imgtops and epstoimg man pages give instructions on using the programs.
