Hi,
xfig 3.1 is a nice improvement over 2.1. My problem, however, is as
follows.
I often import eps files mostly generated by gnuplot or by ps2epsi.
xfig2.1 has no problem displaying the eps object on screen. xfig3.1,
however, gives the `unknown image format' error in the console window
for exactly the same conditions. I verified this again by running
xfig.old and importing an eps file generated by ps2epsi.
Is xfig3.1 having problems with the ghostscript translation of my eps
files in a way that xfig2.1 isn't? Help...this is my workhorse tool
for embellishing the eps output of plotting programs and other routines.
It's difficult for me to line up arrows, etc. to the now invisible
curves in the eps file.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Simon
