Re: [libreoffice-users] EPS images in ODT documents

Hi :)

Is EPS a vector-graphics format that allows you to increase (or decrease) the 
size of pictures easily without any loss of quality?  


If so then converting to the ".svg" format that LibreOffice has just included 
support for would be a good way to deal with this.  There is an OpenSource (and 
free) program called "Inkscape" that makes it easy to change between 
vector-graphics formats.

However, if you are using EPS so that you can get an easy preview of the picture 
without having to open the whole thing then there are quite a few developments.  
First, recently computers became able to preview or even open pictures in many 
different formats much more easily.  Secondly, there are better formats now, 
such as "png" that are a lot less lossy than "jpg" or "gif".  There are even 
lossless formats such as "tiff".  


It might be worth contacting the Design mailing list as they have much more 
accurate knowledge about all this than most of us in here.

So, you might not need to stick with EPS anymore.  It depends on why you were 
using that format.

I hope something here was helpful.  If not hopefully someone else might give a 
better answer soon so don't worry.
Regards from
Tom :)

Subject: [libreoffice-users] EPS images in ODT documents


Hello! I write books containing a lot of EPS images. When I have tried to use
OpenOffice I have not been satisfied with the rendition of the inserted EPS
images. Is LibreOffice better, or going to be better, than OpenOffice in
this respect? 

Regards,
