42- -----------------------------------------------------------

44- If you have[ XV] ( http://www.trilon.com/xv/ ) installed, there is an easy
45- way to make a bitmap version of any figure.
46-
47- First, display the original figure on the screen somehow, e.g. with
48- ghostview.** DO NOT** open PostScript figures with XV -- this simply
49- uses ghostscript as a backend to generate a low resolution ppmraw
50- bitmap. It is better to display the PostScript file at the desired size
51- with your favorite viewer and then grab the image from screen as
52- described below.
53-
54- Next, use the "Grab" button in XV to snatch a copy of the displayed
55- image into XV's buffer (after selecting "Grab" you can do this either by
56- clicking the left mouse button on the desired window -- which grabs the
57- whole window, or by holding down the middle mouse button and dragging --
58- which selects a region).
59-
60- Once the image is in XV's buffer, you can manipulate it. You should use
61- "Autocrop" or "Crop" to remove any excess margins around the figure.
62- Then save it as a color or greyscale PostScript.
63-
64- > <span class =" note " >Note: </span >** When resaving as PostScript, you

66- > with no loss of quality.**

80- Finally, make sure that the size of the newly saved image is smaller
81- than the original. In addition, the uncompressed size of a figure should
82- not exceed 500kB. <span id =" shortMac " ></span >
