(...) I just noticed a problem when using LDView as LPub's renderer. LPub (alpha 3) isn't using the -SaveActualSize=0 command line option, so if you don't have the "Save image with specific size" check box checked in LDView's Save Snapshot dialog, (...) (18 years ago, 25-Jun-08, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

--snip-- (...) Ironically I've met some mathematicians who worked with TLG on this problem about five years ago. Their conclusion of "it can't be done" seems to be holding out still. I'll stick to LPub and (now less) elbow grease. Tim (18 years ago, 25-Jun-08, to lugnet.cad)
