Hi,
I managed to get the file from the user again. You'll find it in the
directory:
/mit/tompalka/public/fig-bug
Here is what they are:
datapaths.fucked --> the original file
datapaths.fig --> above file loaded into xfig and saved -- no changes done
datapaths.ps --> f2ps datapaths.fig -L > datapaths.ps output
datapaths.fix.ps --> grep -v infinity datapaths.ps output
You will notice that the datapaths.ps doesnt' print or preview because of the
undefined "infinity" word. If you just get rid of the lines containing it,
the file works fine.
Basically the lines that contain infinity draw a line from (inf,inf) to (inf,inf)
and reset the path. So you lose nothing by getting rid of them -- that is, you lose
lines going accross the printout, but unwanted ones.
please tell me when you don't need them anymore, so that I can get rid of them.
thanks,
tom
