[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #45494] Patches have spurious (antialising) lines in vector printout

[Pantxo Diribarne]

Follow-up Comment #17, bug #45494 (project octave):

@Dmitri: pdf->eps conversion often turns out to be poor quality (rasterized
graphics and text) so since eps is still preferred in some domains of
scientific publication it would be best to *not* have converted eps. Instead I
would propose the following:
* *-dps/eps/eps2 ... (latex included)* : native gl2ps output. Eventually add a
switch (e.g. "-e" for "enhanced") to allow the removal of the
"GL2PS_NO_PS3_SHADING" option and obtain better but unconvertible results.
* *-dpdf ... (latex included)* : native gl2ps output. Add a note about the new
format (see below) that handles lit surfaces better
* *-dpdfgs* : eps converted to pdf. "gs" is for "ghostscript" but  any other
name would fit.
* *rasterized formats and other vector formats*: stick to eps conversion
toolchain
