For an interlaced, transparent image anti-aliased for white background: > convert -rotate '90\<' -density 288 -geometry 12.25% logo.ps tmp.gif Convert will do anti-aliasing automatically. > xv tmp.gif Pad the image with white, increasing both width and height by about 10 pixels; Run the blur algorithm with a mask size of 3; Half the image size; Crop; Save as logo.gif. > giftool -B -rgb 255,255,255 -i logo.gif To create an anti-aliased image for a background other than white, there are several ways: 1. Hack the postscript file: change srgb macros for foreground and background, and also remember to get rid of explict setgray's. I don't know any way to set the background color for a postcript file except drawing a filled rectangle with the background color. Then, follow pretty much the same instructions above. 2. First use ps2gif to get an image that is not anti-aliased. Use xpaint to fill in the background color (and/or foreground). Then, use xv to blur the image and reduce it to the desired size. Finally, use giftool to make the background color transparent. 3. (Easiest.) Follow the same instructions above for producing an anti-aliased image for white background. Then use xv color editor's modification tool. Adjust the end points of RGB curves so that white is mapped to the new background color; adjust the start points of RGB curves so that black is mapped to the new foreground color. Of course, also adjust midpoints (or get rid of them) for smooth curves. By varying the shape of RGB curves, different effects can be achieved.
