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 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 As selecting the format
Encapsulated Postscript (eps), unselect `Export area is page'. Save or move
the file to .../zip/path/file.eps, as this is the location where eps.zip
expects its files. Also, cp the .eps file to .../latex/path/file.eps
overwriting the old file.
Next save the image as pdf (tag `Export area is drawing'), and convert to gif
using the `display' program The pdf can be removed, cp the gif to
.../html/path/file.gif and mv the file to .../zip/path/file.gif
Then update svg.zip, gif.zip and eps.zip en remove the directories
.../zip/svg and .../zip/path
