I'm looking for a way of producing encapsulated postscript from an X11
screen dump. I have some windows that I want to get a snap shot of and
include them in a LaTeX document. I tried the following sequence with
limited success:
xwd | xwdtoppm | ppmtopgm | pgmtops > file.ps
The problem here is that the window trim is removed and that the
bounding box isn't correct if I use the scale option of pgmtops. I've
heard there is another set of bit manipulation routines (Fuzzy Bitmap
Manipulation FBM) but haven't been able to locate it.
Are there any other ways to get window dumps into EPS?
Thanks,
Ray Roux

Under X11 R4 you can do an: xwd -frame | xpr -dev ps > filename.ps I beleive xpr comes on the MIT R4 contrib tape. This series of commands will capture a window, including the frame and will then convert it to postscript. -- <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Michael Steele steele@dg-rtp.dg.com or mikes@catt.ncsu.edu Data General Corporation -- Building the finest Workstations in Industry <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I know this is not the place to post this request, but we don't get the MS-DOS usnet group. Will someone from Microsoft tech support drop me an email note, I have some questions concerning the FAT table handling of DOS 5.0 Thanks Cheers Woody
