How to edit the ps figure in linux
Hello, everyone.
Did you know how to edit the ps figures in linux, like to cut a part of the whole figure. By the way, did you know any software that can convert *.ps file to *.pdf with a high resolution. Thanks! Happy new year. |
Hello and Happy new Year :)
I think Gimp can edit .ps files as it can edit .eps ;) To convert ps to pdf, I personnally use ps2pdf command Oliv' |
Yea I agree with Oliv'. Also, try xfig, as an alternative.

Thanks!
I want to download the gimp software. I find it in http://packages.debian.org/testing/graphics/gimp. I download the gimp_2.0.6-1_alpha.deb. I do not know how to deal with it. Do I need download other packages related to gimp? Can you ask me the naive question. |
about your link: to run gimp correctly you must have all packages with "red point" installed... those with green point are only recommended . It means it can give you useful features. And the last with the blue point give you optionnal features.
But if you use Debian, just open a console as root and type: Code:
apt-get install gimp Oliv' |
Thanks, but
In my compute, the command(apt-get install gimp) is invalid. |
Additional question.
there are different types for downloading like alpha, arm, hppa et al. What is its meaning. I think that I only download one of these types. But I wonder if it depend on the computer, or others. Thanks |

Do you have a Debian as Linux distro ??? ------------------------------------------------------ No, How to get it. I need download additional software, or not. Thanks! |
No,
In fact the link you provide is for Debian distro. The main difference between linux distro (Fedora, Mandrake, Debian, Suse, Slack...) is the way they manage package/software installation. Debian uses .deb format and apt-get command, whereas Fedora or Mandrake uses .rpm format and rpm command to install software. So I need to know the distro you use to tell you the easiest way to install software ;) Oliv' |
Thanks!
Which command can be used to find the distro in my computer? Sorry for the simple question. |
If you need postscript documentations, there' some in
my webpage, http://www.websamba.com/Linux_Docs_Links Scroll down 90+% to postscript. You could edit ps files directly if you want. Sheng-Chieh p.s. The link for gimp is there too if you want to download the "geeky" way and avoid apt-get. |

Code:
uname -a Oliv' |
Thanks!
Following is the information found by the command. 2.4.20-8smp #1 SMP Thu Mar 13 17:45:54 EST 2003 i68 6 i686 i386 GNU/Linux. :) |
So it seems (according to your kernel version) that you have a RedHat (maybe mandrake)... so your distro uses RPM format.
To be sure the distro you use, have a look at "/etc/release" or a file with a similar name... Then once the distro precisely determined, go to: http://rpmfind.net/ an download Gimp Then do as root: Code:
rpm -ivh gimp-version-arch.rpm Oliv' |
