The primary figures are stored in zip/svg.zip. These are vector graphic
figures that can be manipulated or created by the `inkscape' program.
When creating or modifying figures:
===================================
cd zip
./prepare
this will extract the zips in their appropriate directories.
Then
====
cd svg
chdir to the appropriate directory and start inkscape
with the name of the figure to create/edit
When a figure is created or modified, save its .svg format. A new picture
can be given a certain size. E.g., to define a picture size 200 x 300 mm,
just a bit smaller than A4 do as follows:
-> shift-ctrl d to define the size
-> within the inkscape window: 5 to zoom in or use the zoom icon (3rd
magnifying glass icon)
Save the image using ctrl-S, and then
=====================================
(save .eps and .pdf formats in the svg directory)
Save As
selecting the format Encapsulated Postscript (eps).
Make sure to unselect `Export area is page'.
Next save the image as pdf (tag `Export area is drawing')
(There's no need to convert the pdf to gif: that happens at ./install
below)
Having performed all image-editing, cd back to ~/zip and run:
=============================================================
./install
This also installs the files at the ../latex and ../html directories
Finally:
========
./collect
to update the zips.
