Compatibility
If you want your TEX file to be compatible with LATEX and
<#532#>EPIC<#532#> but at the same time you want a better print out by using
<#533#>EEPIC<#533#>, you must avoid several features in <#534#>EEPIC<#534#>.
- Try not to use 93 commands and use
94 instead because 95 in LATEX only
supports a limited set of slope.
- Do not use 96 command. Use 97 if a
curve is really necessary.
- Avoid using solid or small inter-dot gap in drawing long
dash lines. They used up a lot of TEX memory in original <#535#>EPIC<#535#>.
You should use 98 with negative stretch to draw the
dash lines.
If you want to use any of the extended commands in <#536#>EEPIC<#536#>, you
must include the <#537#>EEPIC<#537#> emulation macros (99) in
the file. The extended commands are emulated in the following
ways.
- Circles larger than 40pt will be drawn using 100.
- Ellipsis will be drawn using 101.
- Spline will be approximated by 102.
- 103 will be substituted by 104.
- 105 will be substituted by
106.
- 107 will be substituted by
108 and 109.
