Re: gEDA-user: gschem: low-quality PNG file

Thank you, John Luciani and  John Coppens.

The problem may be the way that your viewer is converting vectors
to dots.

In the document at http://www.luciani.org/geda/util/matrix.pdf
I used image-magick to set dot densities.

For the PCB layers I used the command-line

  convert -density 576

For the schematics I used

  convert -density 288

Hello, there!
I'm quite new to circuit editors. I've just tried the gEDA tutorial.
I want my circuit designs to be exported to Web pages.
I saved the tutorial's file one.sch as a PNG file and saw it by an
image viewer to find its texts consist of rather small number of dots.
I'm on Mac OS X 10.3.4.

Are there any ways to improve the quality of resulting PNG files?
Thanks in advance.




Do you mean converting PNG file to PNG or any other format by ImageMagick's convert command with -density argument or converting directory from gschem format?

My understanding is that gschem allows to export only to PNG.

Export you PCB to a EPS (Encapsulated Postscript) file - then import it
in GIMP - set the interpolation for text and line to highest quality.
The result is excellent!

Sorry - this is valid for schematics too, of course. 

Exporting to EPS would be the best way.
How do you convert gschem files to EPS except screen capture?
