At least in older versions of (E)PS you cannot use "transparent blue"
or "transparent red" to fill shapes for example. But the background is
always transparent even in PostScript in the sense that unless you
explicitely paint the background with white, you can include your
image in another document and you won't see any white white
rectangular border around it.
Okay Mojca.
Anyone knows if newest version of eps support it?
GIMP doesn't really support EPS. I don't know what you need GIMP for,
but when I need to convert some EPS or PDF image into transparent PNG,
I do:
gs -dSAFER -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE \
-sDEVICE=pngalpha \
-dTextAlphaBits=4 \
-dGraphicsAlphaBits=4 \
-sOutputFile=converted_file.png \
-r100.0 \ (put here whatever number you want)
original_file.pdf
You can try that with the logo and you'll notice the transparent
background with GIMP.
Thanks Mojca for this script. I did the same with gimp with more more
effort (open eps file, gimp says that it should convert, then a file
with white background appears and then I substitute white background
with transparent background, and save as png file. Uf!!).
Mojca, how is this script for converting pdf file to (newest) eps? For
seeing if newest eps supports transparency.
Mojca
