James, I just came across this: And in the meantime I came across this: http://www.pdflib.com/products/more/jpeg2ps.html which is a command line utility for changing a jpg into an EPS by simplly adding postscript wrappers around the jpg image data. IOW, postscript can actually take the image in jpg format without converting the compressed image bytes. That means that I may well be able to leave jpg's in the IFS, then add my own wrappers based on how the above works. Or just batch convert my jpg's into EPS, and insert those. I have not yet really begun to study the postscript data stream, but I've worked with many different data streams in the past so learning enough to pull off the paradigm you do plus also insert dynamic jpg images may not be that difficult. It is at least worth taking a closer look at it. Doug http://local.wasp.uwa.edu.au/~pbourke/dataformats/postscript/
It is a very simple introduction and includes a section on inserting images. Scroll nearly two-thirds of the way down to the heading Drawing "small" Images. James Rich It's not the software that's free; it's you. - billyskank on Groklaw -- This is the Midrange Systems Technical Discussion (MIDRANGE-L) mailing list To post a message email: MIDRANGE-L@xxxxxxxxxxxx To subscribe, unsubscribe, or change list options, visit: http://lists.midrange.com/mailman/listinfo/midrange-l or email: MIDRANGE-L-request@xxxxxxxxxxxx Before posting, please take a moment to review the archives at http://archive.midrange.com/midrange-l.
