CTAN tug.ctan.org upload: purifyeps
by CTAN Announcements 02 Dec '10

This should be at your local mirror. Jim Hef{}feron Saint Michael's College ........................................................................... The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: purifyeps Version number: 1.1 Author's name: Scott Pakin Location on CTAN: /support/purifyeps Summary description: Make EPS work with both LaTeX/dvips and pdfLaTeX. License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- While pdfLaTeX has a number of nice features, its primary shortcoming relative to standard LaTeX+dvips is that it is unable to read ordinary Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) files, the most common graphics format in the LaTeX world. purifyeps converts EPS files into a purified form that can be read by *both* LaTeX+dvips and pdfLaTeX. The trick is that the standard LaTeX2e graphics packages can parse MetaPost-produced EPS directly. Hence, purifyeps need only convert an arbitrary EPS file into the same stylized format that MetaPost outputs. Version 1.1 includes two helpful changes. First, in response to a discussion on the tex-live mailing list, the program now issues a more user-friendly error message if pstoedit (a support tool required by purifyeps) is not found on the search path. Second, purifyeps incorporates a patch provided by Markus Kohm to search for pstoedit's mpost.fmp file in a standard set of directories. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/support/purifyeps .
