I don't know what you mean by "complex gradients". My copy of the
red book has wandered off, but PS is a full blown programming
language, so I imagine it can do what you want.
I know more about SVG then I do about PostScript. SVG does
complicated things with gradients. Except for the end conditions, I
would avoid them. Multiple stops are not a good idea. If you are
using PhotoShop, avoid Adobe extensions to SVG!!
I used Inkscape to design the logo. The gradient only has two stops, but
it uses the "reflected" repeat style. I'm not sure whether PS can do
that, and if not, how hard it is to convert from a single reflected
gradient into a combination of several simpler gradient-filled shapes.
IAC, I would make an SVG with InkScape and print it to a PostScript
file. Where are we with this -- did this fail to work? Or, are we
using something else?
It looks like this failed to work.
IIRC, Squiggle doesn't print PostScript -- only (high resolution)
bitmap. I don't think that the Adobe NS Plugin will work with the
current GLibc so it doesn't much matter what it will do. :-( There
might be GNOME stuff that would work. I don't have much faith in
KOffice (Karbon14-1.6.2 is out and it is supposed to convert SVG to
EPS).
That could be an option, to convert it to a high-res bitmap and embed
that into the PDF. Not as nice, but if it works then it works.
OK. Where can I download the SVG to try?
