.eps files and powerpoint
Rich, That's scary. Well, I could make a comment about Vista, but that would take us in a whole new direction... ;-) As far as GS, for an EPS file to a PNG, try something along the lines of: gs -dSAFER -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -r300 -dEPSCrop -sDEVICE=png16m -sOutputFile=file.png file.eps That seems to work for me on OSX. Regards, Marc

On Vista with Powerpoint 2007, file2.eps crashes powerpoint, Once file.eps displayed, several times it crashed powerpoint. My task is now to see if ghostscript can read a pdf or ps or eps and convert it to png at res=300. Do you know the incantation for that?

Rich, Any chance that you have access to a native Windows machine or to a
colleague that does to try the files.
I am wondering if there is any chance that there is something about
running Office in Windows under a VM on OSX that might be involved in some manner.
BTW, which VM (VMWare, Parallels, VirtualBox or ?) are you using? Marc On Jul 25, 2013, at 9:03 AM, Richard M. Heiberger <rmh at temple.edu>

Rich, I don't have direct access to Windows and I don't run a VM on my Mac. I e-mailed two PPTX files created on my Mac (Office 2011) to a
colleague
who has Office 2010 on his Windows laptop. The first was the file on DropBox that I linked earlier, with the regular plot. The second is
this
PPTX file: https://www.dropbox.com/s/snm7cb9chrkcrff/RPlot2.pptx which contains this EPS file created with the barchart() code that you had below: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ujchnft7q3aa3pw/file2.eps I went over to his office and he could open both PPTX files on his
laptop
and both of the embedded EPS plots were viewable without issue. Can you open the PPTX file that I created above on your Windows
instance?
