[gentoo-user] Recommend a program for line art and text
I've tried creating diagrams in xfig. It works fine for my LaTeX documents, but does not export well to PNG for use in web pages. Should I export to something else? Are there options on PNG I'm not aware of (would not surprise me in the least). Should I use something else to author my diagrams? Example: http://www.csc.calpoly.edu/~kogorman/453/projects/2/06f453-A2-stack.png Which is a bit blurry, even though I've tried to keep the pixels aligned. -- Kevin O'Gorman, PhD -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
