I am trying to convert XWD format image files to PostScript. The information I have on the possible parameters of the xwd file is: format - ZPixmap, and XYPixmap visual class - DirectColor, PseudoColor, and GreyScale pixmap depth - Up to 24 bits/pixel I don't really know what these all mean... is there a tool out there that will deal with it for me, or do I need to learn:-)? In particular, for those familiar with HP's Starbase graphics software, this is the kind of xwd files potentially output from the "sb2xwd" Starbase to X conversion utility. Thanks in advance, Brad Smith Unix Systems Manager brad@imhfhp14.epfl.ch

I use : xwd | xpr -device ps > file.ps If you already have xwd format files just pipe them into the xpr command as shown above. There are lots of options on the xpr command for inverting, compressing etc... Ken Nelson Principal Engineer Software Systems Design 3627 Padua Av. Claremont, CA 91711 (714) 624-3402
