Anyway what I'ld like to see is some common support for > graphics meta files Many people use for this the idraw file format which a printable postscript file. It is a VERY nice metafile format, yet a little verbose... But the postscript header is optional, so it's not bad. I have done a "wd2id" converter converting xwd window dumps into this format so that I can add legends to X windows dumps, and modify the colors for B&W printing. rich@rice.edu mad "plot2ps" taking PLOT(1) input and producing an idraw file. You get a lot of synergy out of this system, and you have a FREE nice graphic editor, idraw!
