| | | (...) I'm really looking forward to this :-) I regret that I haven't had the time recently to play with the new LPub. I should download it on my spare machine and play there. I can't wait to see the new features you have in store! (ahem, EPS output, (...) (22 years ago, 29-Apr-03, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.inst)

And since it is reasonably trivial to convert EPS to PDF, it makes sense to make the (...) (22 years ago, 30-Apr-03, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.inst)

| | | | | (...) Yeah, but I don't think it's trivial to convert from 3D LDR format to EPS. That's the problem. There are plenty of ways to Convert from a 3D format to a 2D representation suitable for printing, but most of them involve rasterization at some (...) (22 years ago, 30-Apr-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)

I know `pnmtops` very well (there's a bug in one of Red Hat's versions of it), but once you have rasterised a vector image, there is really no way to get back to the quality of the vector image again. Using `pnmtops` you will either get much (...) (22 years ago, 30-Apr-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)
