eps pictures on amiga or pegasos
« on: March 17, 2007, 02:06:19 PM »
I want to laser some stainless steel plates.
These companies require eps pictures to drive their lasers.
Is there a convert program from jpeg to eps?
Is it possible to use pagestream to create manipulate eps pictures?

Claims to have Postscript-support, wether the generated code is EPS-compatible needs to be tried (may require some minor editing on the generated PS-files).

1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else

long time i don't use it anymore but PageStream should print to file as PS (and/or eps as well)

Same should be possible with GhostScript as well.

1) Is there a convert program from jpeg to eps?
Yes, it's called XTrace by Ronny Schuetz.  It's shareware, so feel free to d/l it & try it out.  It converts bit-mapped images to vector images & vice versa.  It save in 3 different EPS formats: (1)EPSB (Binary), (2)EPSF (File), & (3)EPSI (Interchange).  It's amazingly flexible & chockfull of options.  BTW, for big .JPGs, you might need to increase the stack size.

Provector 3.0 came with a program called "StylusTracer", but it does not work with .JPGs as input - only IFFs, I believe.

2) Is it possible to use pagestream to create manipulate eps pictures?

Create?  I don't think so.  Manipulate?  Most probably

This looks like a very nice program this Xtrace!
Will have a go on this one.

Have you tried out XTrace?  If so, how did it work out for you?

Autotrace (on Aminet) is free, fast and awesome.  It doesn't have a user interface though (CLI).  I recently had a look at XTrace, and although it's really nice, if you only need Adobe format EPS vector files, Autotrace does a great job.

I haven't had the chance to try it out 100%.
I did fiddle around with it but was unable to convert yet.
Will investigate further but it is a long term project.
Just hobby so no hurry with it.
I am designing new shields for a triumph gt6 mk1 to protect the engine for water/mud etc..
They are polyester now with a aluminium frame.
I want to create a polished stainless steel one.
With the triumph logo engraved/deepened black coloured.
