Your answer confirms that the procedure works OK for jpegs, but
as I pointed out before the real problem is with gifs or pngs
of figure containing drawings.
I built a small example where an original vector-like figure
exported from xfig to eps works fine, but where
the same figure exported to gif or png and re-converted to eps
with ImageMagick is not good.
Is my implementation of ImageMagick buggy or what ?
I thought that ImageMagick delegated the ps stuff to ghostscript (here 5.50)
but obviously not because
convert figtest.eps figtest.ps
gives a bitmapped figure.
Does the change in size while exporting to gif and png fron xfig explain
a part of the problem ?
Do I miss an option in convert ?
Is it better with gimp ?
Any info welcome.
