# pstoedit
|
|
|
|
PStoEdit translates PostScript and PDF graphics into other vector formats.
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
Currently pstoedit can generate the following formats:
|
|
- Tgif .obj format (for tgif version >= 3)
|
|
- fig format for xfig
|
|
- pdf Adobe Portable Document Format
