Re: Very poor images


What are you using to generate the EPS images? I have seen poor image
quality if you save an image as EPS in The GIMP.  Try using the
command convert from the ImageMagick package to convert from JPG to
PGM to EPS. You can resize the image while converting it to EPS using the
--density option to convert so the images do not fall off the page.

Hope this helps,
Tammy
