Name of contribution: purifyeps Author's name: Scott Pakin Location on CTAN: support/purifyeps Summary description: Make EPS files work with both latex+dvips and pdflatex License type: lppl
Announcement text given by the contribution's author: - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. - ----------------------------------------------------------------------
