[OT] 'gv' and fractional points

As well as the awkwardness of doing it the GIMP way, I've discovered another disadvantage. I'd previously tried it on a rather small image (175x70 points, = 2.43x0.97 inches). I then tried it on a full A4 page. Even at a GIMP "Scale" factor of 300, this leads to a 50MB temporary file being created. At 1000, this would rise to some 550MB, as I found out after this attempt filled up the limited spare space I have on the disk drive in question ... No doubt "Scale"=300 (as opposed to the default of 100) may be ample for most purposes, but the overhead is still unpleasant! Hence I'm once again hankering after something which will display a PS file as efficiently as 'gv', but will report the cursor position in fractions of a point! Best wishes to all, Ted. -------------------------------------------------------------------- E-Mail: (Ted Harding) <Ted.Harding at manchester.ac.uk> Fax-to-email: +44 (0)870 094 0861 Date: 15-Jun-07 Time: 19:18:48 ------------------------------ XFMail ------------------------------ -------------------------------------------------------------------- E-Mail: (Ted Harding) <ted.harding at nessie.mcc.ac.uk> Fax-to-email: +44 (0)870 094 0861 Date: 15-Jun-07 Time: 20:33:19 ------------------------------ XFMail ------------------------------
