Re: [ferret_users] vector representation
Hi Marco -
First, for postscript/pdf output, it is usually better to thicken the
vectors (or any lines) in the plot commands:
vector/line=7 ucomp,vcomp ! or /line=13
This method may look terrible on the screen, but will print much better.
Second, there have been a few scripts contributed to the user group
that thicken lines in post-processing and discuss this question.
Search the user group archives for "thicken".

Dear Ferret users,
When I create a postscript output file from a metafile, I get a very
high resolution file with lines of one pixel thickness. If I then
convert it to pdf, the result is that the single pixel line is
deantialiased to a gray scale if I represent it in a smaller
resolution than its original resolution.
Is it possible to get vector representation output from Ferret (into
the metafile)? If the metafile already contains vector data, how do
I decently convert it to PDF?
If this is not possible, can I make the lines thicker?
Relevant part of script:
gksm2ps -p portrait -l cps -d cps -o ${1}.eps metafile.plt || exit 2
convert -density 250 +antialias -compress zip $1.eps ${ELIRUJO}/
${1}.pdf
I am using Ferret 6.6.7 on a Fedora 13 system.
Cheers,
