Additional Notes to Accompany Version 2.20 (02-May-1993)
========================================================
!!!! P L E A S E N O T E !!!!
==============================
!EPSobject is - N O T - a Postscript Interpreter.
It can convert EPS files from AI or Corel-Draw 2.xx/3.xx formats (or from
programs using these formats) but is not guaranteed to work with other EPS
formats.
---
Because Draw files cannot easily be be persuaded to display:
a: Linear or Radial fills
and b: Caligraphic-Pen lines
a rather radical approach has been taken when these objects are found in
EPS files produced by eg. CorelDraw 3.xx.
EPS files produced by CorelDraw 3.xx EPS should contain the following line
in the header (without inverted commas):
"% -------------- POSTSCRIPT PROLOG FOR CORELDRAW 3.X"
(or at least the words: "CORELDRAW 3.X" !!!!)
This will ensure, amongst other things, correct colour translation !
Furthermore, the resulting Drawfiles will be such that for:
a: Linear-Fill and Radial-fill
The resultant Draw file will flood the area in question with the
average colour value of the start and end colour values.
eg.
Start colour = Black
End colour = White
Resultant flood colour in DRAW = Grey (50%)
b: Calligraphic-Pen
The resultant Draw file will use a line width which is the
average of height and width for the relevant lines.
eg.
Height = 1 Pt.
Width = 2 Pt.
Line width in DRAW = 1.5 Pt.
---
Rotated Text (ie. not on path!)
Unfortunately, not yet possible with this version of !EPSobject !!
(can anybody supply details of the Draw-File-Format for this ?)
---
Additionally, a few minor 'bug fixes' and improvements have been made in
this version.
---
Example files are no longer distributed together with the program as these
have not changed from previous versions. You should, however, be able to
obtain them seperately from the same place you received !EPSobject (possibly
as a Sparkive called simply 'EPSfiles').
