Does anyone know of a good way to get nice black & white EPS from Gnumeric charts? I've got some charts in Gnumeric that I want to include in PhD dissertation (which is written latex), but I'm having trouble getting something decent out of Gnumeric. I tried the "Save as" function, which allows PNGs, JPEGs, and SVGs. PNGs and JPEGs are, of course, inadequate because they're raster format and need to be made huge in order to have sufficient quality. But the SVG export is also inadequate because it doesn't support the patterns on my bars in my barchart, and since my dissertation needs to be black and white I need the patterns in order to distinguish the different items in the legend. The other thing I tried was to do a "print to file" and then convert that to EPS, but the file resulting file is huge and doesn't look very nice in "gv." Is it possible to get a nice EPS out of a Gnumeric chart? (I'm using Gnumeric 1.5.2; I was using 1.4.3, but I upgraded to see if that would help, but it didn't seem to.)
I don't have a solution. As a workaround you can export as SVG, then transform it to EPS. I used to edit the SVG files made by gnumeric with inkscape, later saving them as EPS files. As to black and white - I aways made it either right in gnumeric, or in the system where the EPS files were used. I use *BSD (or Linux), don't know if inkscape for win exists. -- V.Chukharev _______________________________________________ gnumeric-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnumeric-list
