Please write image files in a vector graphics format, when possible, and
|
|
generate the .png and .pdf versions on the fly (see ../Makefile).
|
|
|
|
Currently supported tools are dia and tgif. xfig could be added similarly
|
|
if someone wants to add it. The main requirement for adding another format
|
|
is that the tool to edit it is freely available and that a cron script can
|
|
autogenerate the pdf and png from the figure source.
|
|
|
|
Store the .dia, or .obj versions in mercurial, but not the .png or .pdfs.
|
|
If the figure is not available in a vector graphics format, store both
|
|
a .png and a .pdf version in this directory.
|
|
|
|
If you add a source (.dia, .obj) file here, remember to add it to
|
|
the list of figure sources in the Makefile in the directory above
|
|
|
|
Note: tgif can convert from .obj to .pdf, but the pdf that results takes
|
|
up a whole page. Instead, we convert to an intermediate .eps step, and
|
|
then run epstopdf.
