GhostScript/GhostView ??

[Jim Thompson]

Anyone using GhostScript/GhostView?

It's been awhile since I've used it.

I can't remember the way to crop a PostScript image.

I have a schematic that is like 5 transistors in the middle of the
page and would like to crop off all the excess white-space and border
markings before inserting in a Word document.

Thanks!

Copy the image and paste it into 'Paint', then crop it, save it, then
copy and paste the new image into your document.

There are tiny 'buttons' on the right side and bottom of the 'Paint'
screen that you click and drag to crop each edge. You can do the left
side or top by flipping the image. It is part of Windows, and only
takes a couple minutes to figure out for most people.

Paint won't open PostScript files.

Tried Irfanview? It will open postscripts, crop, and save as, say, a
gif or jpeg.

Jim,
You can crop in Word. There is a crop tool in the Picture toolbar. To
bring up the picture tool bar, View|Toolbars|Picture. The toolbar is
visible if it is checked in the menu. Select the image, click on the
crop button and move the handles to crop your image.

Paint won't open PostScript files.

My linux box has a ps2pdf utility. I'll bet it runs on windows
if you have the cigwin stuff.

Paint won't open PostScript files.

I didn't say it would. I said to copy the image from the PostScript
file.

I've tried that a few days ago and it leaves a nasty black area where
the cropped away stuff used to be.

Jim, as Mark said you might as well import into Word as is and then crop
there. Invoke the image toolbar.

Yep, Just tried it. Works great!

I use a capture thing called MWSnap for this - you can pick an area to
capture and save it as a jpg, bmp, gif, tiff, or png. I think it's free.

Do yourself a favor and get a printer with postscript. It is the only
way to fly if you are using *nix programs.

alt.binaries.schematics.electronic removed from To line

Yup. A screen capture utility is by far the easiest way to do this.

Correct on every point.

I just tested ghostview ,just copied the whole page,
then cut and cropped in paint.
Tested the gs file in ifranview, it refused the ps,
but it accepted the clipboard paste obtained in ghostview,
and cropped nicer than paint did.

That YOU are the JERK (no reading comprehension) is well-defined....

What does a printer have to do with inserting a PostScript graphic
into Word?

Not that I don't have PostScript printing capability... an hp1320 does
both PCL and PS.

Who uses 'Word' on *nix?

I do. MS Word 3.0 on SCO ODT 3.2v4.2 and Word 5.1 on SCO 3.2v5.0.5.
However, I do prefer vi for anything useful.

Won't UltraEdit run on *nix?

I know it can switch back and forth between *nix and DOS file formats
at will.

I last used vi (what a klutz) around 20 years ago ;-)
