If you look at the EPS it specifies a 235x235 bounding box, and a scale factor to shoehorn the diagram in it. If you edit the EPS to work with a 1:1 scale and a sufficient bounding box (2 lines to edit, no hard to script), the output of convert is OK. You can likely ask convert to scale down the graphic at that point and get correct results, scaling is always best done as the last thing in the process. _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
