Q.253 - Making slides from oplot PostScript files

Category: S.253 - plot

For once not a question but a program announcement:

From Mariusz Jaskolski:

I have written a SlideMaker program to transform o/oplot output into PostScript slides with shaded background and annotations. The slides are perfectly suitable for direct printing on 35 mm film by computer controlled film recorders. I have a series of very nice slides which made their way into the frame exclusively through computer network (no camera involved). The program is interactive; default answers produce shade-of-blue background, but any combination of colours is possible. A compressed tar file, slidetar.Z, is available through anonymous ftp to krystal.amu.edu.pl in cd slide. If you uncompress slidetar and then tar -xvf slidetar, you will get an SGI version of the program and a pair of demo files for xpsview'ing, slide.before/slide.after. You will also get a companion SlideTracer program for text positioning, and a sample set of PostScript commands, slide.label, defining the annotations to be added to the sample picture. To compose your own annotated slide:
