OK, all the images on my presentations page are from xfig, and the
representative file sizes are as below:
1092 query_ssl.fig
4370 query_ssl.png
PNG image attached.
What I like about xfig is that I can export EPS and embed those in PDF
files as _raster_ images. Not sure we can use those in our PDFs though.
I assume Dia has more image style options than xfig.
