I know how to convert the PNG to EPS or PDF (and it takes even less than two minutes), but that again simply embeds the bitmap, so nothing gained. To be sure you can send me the SVG, I'll have a look. Best, Fritz __ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel

It does look like it would be near-impossible to parameterise the logo efficiently into a vector format - all that shading and 3-d effect stuff. These days, most vector graphics programs provide gradient shading primitives - that's all you need to recreate most 3D effects.
