I'm quite surprised with some results. I had some mathematica
plots which I just exported into EPS and inserted into a LaTeX
document. They are excellent. One of them I had to edit so I
used Gimp and when I saved in EPS, the result was terrible.
Alot of alias. I do imagine its about resolution but I'm not
sure. Has anyone had a similar issue? Can someone help me out
edit a EPS image in Gimp with at least comparable results of
Mathematica?
I think the issue is vector versus raster. GIMP is a raster program.
Since Mathematica is dealing with the curves directly, it probably simply
translates the equations into a vector, which can then be handled by
Postscript native elements, and likewise, TeX.
You can definitely make this better by increasing the resolution. I would
suggest 300DPI as a starting point.
