eps issue

[Martial]

L'o

Several thread talk about eps, so :
I use Lilypond (for windows) recently
and I test the \epsfile, with difficulty, but with succes !

syntaxe :  \epsfile #"my_image.eps"  *
in use  :  \markup { \epsfile #"my_image.eps" }

There are two format eps : matrix and vectorial.

Lilypond use the eps format vectorial.
Frequently the outputs format are in a matricial,(in Gimp too).

Use Inkscape  http://www.inkscape.org/
or Oodraw (openoffice http://www.openoffice.org/) to make a vectorial
image and export in eps format.

- Use eps format level 1; (niveau 1)
- no  encapluled;
- no  preview tiff;

Use Inkscape to "vectorise" a bitmap output with anothers software.
menu Chemin(p)
        \Vectoriser le bitmap.

If you view this warning in the Lilypond log    
"Converting to `eps_image.pdf'...Error: /stackoverflo"
You must simplify the image in Inkscape:
        menu Chemin(p)
                \simplifier.
