I found the EPS to MetaCard thing mentioned below on a Revolution downloads page:
http://www.runrev.com/Revolution1/developercentral/ usercontributions.html
I should maybe email Alejandro, but what I'm wondering if there's a way to intelligently trim the number of points each of these graphics occupies? I have a feeling if I have fifty graphic objects each with 300 points or so that MetaCard will crawl when I try to move a group containing all fifty. Anyone have experience with this?
Looks like some very great tools on that page, too!

Karl,
Alejandro Tejada has some sample code for importing EPS as polygons:

I don't know if it will help you in your case, but you might want to
check it out. Otherwise you'll need to find some way to convert your EPS
graphics to JPEG, PNG, etc.

Is there any way to import EPS files as actual graphic objects in MetaCard?
I was under the impression this could be done, as I always saw the "EPS" tab on the Import stack. However, I just tried it out, and it doesn't really import anything from an EPS file created with Illustrator 8. This happens on Mac OS X 10.2.6.
After reading the documentation, it says only UNIX/X11 systems can display EPS. Is this true? If so, I'm a bit worried about a project I have to do where I was almost positive I could import EPS objects as graphics objects.
Has anyone developed an alternate way of creating graphic objects out of EPS files?
