ImageMagickTM
on the DB Group Machines
A package called ImageMagickTM
has been installed on the Solaris machines
(Sole, Hake,...). This is a nice set of both interactive and command line
programs for editing, converting, and annotating images in various formats
such as PS, JPG, GIF, TIFF, MS-WindowsBMP, etc. E.g., you can use it to
convert a PS figure into TIFF which can be inserted and previewed in PowerPoint.

Tips
convert
may be of particular interest. It can convert to and from many file
formats, such as PS, EPS, TIFF, GIF, JPG, MS-WindowsBMP, etc. For example:
// convert GIF to TIFF and rotate 90 degrees.
convert -rotate 90 slide.gif
slide.tif
// convert PS to GIF, with higher resolution
for better fonts:
convert -density 288
-geometry 25% slide.ps slide.gif
