Hi, list: In my quest to create MPL plots for insertion into Word documents, I tried post-script (doesn't work well - Word doesn't like the ps file created by MPL), pdf (can't create more then 8 plots per job and can not import into word), png (works but each plot needs to be magified manually before saving), and now I am playing around with the svg format. Word doesn't recognize the svg format but I can open the file in gimp, select the portion of the chart I need, and do cut-and-paste over to Word. I can do the same with png format too but svg format works better if I have to do cut and paste and scale.
My question is this: While the svg files are much smaller then the cooresponding png file (yes, and scalable), I am surprised that the quality of the plot doesn't seem to be that much better (seem like about the same as compared to a corresponding png figure). I would have thought that they should (see for example: http://luxor-xul.sourceforge.net/talk/jug-nov-2002/slides.html#svg-1). Is this because MPL is not taking advantage of the capabilities offered by svg? I know that not every one works with Word but for good or for bad, that's what I have to work with in oder to submit my paper for publishing. Surely many of you have come across this kind of chanllenge. What have you been doing for inserting MPL created charts into Word?
