thank you for this really clear explanation. In fact as you say below,
the actual implemantation is more generic and allow to do everything you
want if you know how to use the converters.

yes that's the problem, if you can type during the display of the
graphics, it's ok for me.
OK, so it will be ok for the final 1.2 release :-)

ok check which converter is installed and adapt the converter command
lines
or be more precis about these problem while they aren't solved.
