<h1><a name="Overview">Overview</a></h1>
<p>pstoedit translates PostScript and PDF graphics into other vector formats. </p>
<h1><a name="Supported Formats">Supported Formats</a></h1>
<p>Currently pstoedit can generate the following major formats: </p>
<ul>
<li>Tgif .obj format (for tgif version >= 3) </li>
<li>.fig format for xfig </li>
<li>pdf - Adobe's Portable Document Format </li>
<li>gnuplot format </li>
<li>Flattened PostScript (with or without Bezier curves)</li>
<li>DXF - CAD exchange format </li>
<li>LWO - LightWave 3D </li>
<li>RIB - RenderMan </li>
<li>RPL - Real3D </li>
<li>Java 1 or Java 2 applet </li>
<li>Idraw format (in fact a special form of EPS that idraw
can read)</li>
<li>Tcl/Tk</li>
<li>HPGL</li>
<li>AI (Adobe Illustrator) (based on ps2ai.ps - not a real
pstoedit driver - see notes below and manual)</li>
<li>Windows Meta Files (WMF) (Windows only) </li>
<li>Enhanced Windows Meta Files (EMF) (Windows, but also Linux/Unix if
libemf is available)</li>
<li>OS/2 meta files (OS/2 only) </li>
<li>PIC format for troff/groff</li>
<li>MetaPost format for usage with TeX/LaTeX</li>
<li>LaTeX2e picture</li>
<li>Kontour</li>
<li>GNU Metafile (plotutils / libplot)</li>
<li>Skencil ( <a href="http://www.skencil.org">http://www.skencil.org</a>
)</li>
<li>Mathematica</li>
<li>via ImageMagick to any format supported by ImageMagick</li>
<li>SWF </li>
<li>CNC G code</li>
<li>VTK files for ParaView and similar visualization tools</li>
</ul>
<p>Besides these some further very special formats are supported. See the
<a href="pstoedit.htm">pstoedit.htm</a> for a complete list of available
drivers. </p>
<p>The following formats are available as additional plugins on a
shareware basis. See <a href="../plugins/">http://www.pstoedit.net/plugins/</a>
for more details. </p>
<ul>
<li>(Frame)Maker Intermediate Format (MIF)</li>
<li>CGM Format (both binary and textual) </li>
<li>SVG - scalable vector format. One candidate of the W3C
for a web standard for vector drawings. See <a
href="http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG">http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG</a>/
for more details.</li>
<li>Better Enhanced Windows Meta Files (EMF) (supports curves
and compound pathes and does more accurate text
formatting) (Windows only)</li>
<li>RTF (MS Word) (Windows only)</li>
</ul>
<p>Implementing support for other formats should be very easy.
The architecture of pstoedit consists of a PostScript frontend
which needs to call a PostScript interpreter like Ghostscript and
the individual backends which are pugged into a kind of framework.
This framework can be used independently from the PostScript
frontend from any other program. The framework provides a uniform
interface to all different backends. You need a C++ compiler to
compile and GhostScript to run pstoedit. pstoedit should run on
all Un*x like systems (including cygwin) and has also been ported to OS/2, Windows 9x/NT/2K/XP/Vista,
and RiscOS. </p>
<p>Since version 3.00 it is possible to add new drivers without
even recompiling the core program. pstoedit can load additional
drivers as plugins.</p>

<p>pstoedit also cooperates with autotrace. Autotrace can produce
a dump file for further processing by pstoedit using the -bo (backend
only) option. Autotrace is a program written by a group around
Martin Weber and can be found at <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/autotrace/">http://sourceforge.net/projects/autotrace/</a>
