Hiya, I hope this is a sensible question... :-) I/We have just purchaced a desktop publishing package to write short papers etc. Now it can import postscript files (i.e. graphs) from the mainframe but does not implement some of the PS operators. I was wondering if I could hand edit the files to make it acceptable to the DTP package. That is to implement the following operators by using only "rlineto" and "lineto" operators:- 1) arc,arcn 2) setdash 3) fonts (so as to generate stroke and fill information only) Does anyone possess algorithms to do such a thing, or is it infact possible at all? I guess I would have to pass it through the interpreter to get the font stroking info?? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
