Here's what I do (which is obviously not optimal): 1. Make sure I sit on a computer with a large screen (in terms of pixels) 2. Make the plot in paraview and maximize the window 3. Take a screenshot (using the Ubuntu screenshot utility) 4. Open in GIMP, crop the image and save to eps :-) The .eps will be a bitmap but with a lot of pixels so it looks ok. Number 3 is needed since my paraview crashes when I try to export the figure. -- Anders > > Dag Lindbo wrote: > > As far as I know, it is impossible to render volumetric data to eps in > > a meaningful and robust way (since the PS format is based around > > scaling vectors).
