Convert PNG/JPEG/NetPBM to EPS

Overview

PDF manual "bmeps.pdf" available
The bmeps package contains a command line program and a library to convert bitmap image files (PNG/JPEG/NetPBM) to EPS. EPS level 1, 2 and 3 can be used.
Depending on the EPS level there are different compression and encoding algorithms available:
  • run-length-compression (2 and above)
  • flate compression (3 and above)
  • ASCII-85-encoding instead of ASCII-Hex (2 and above)
The program is intended to be used with LaTeX/dvips or other DTP software accepting EPS graphics.
No automated scaling/rotating is done by the program to fit pages of any paper size, this is left up to the DTP application including the graphics.
