Re: Viewing postscript results from ipe drawing

Hi Dave,
You could probably eliminate one conversion by saving your Ipe drawing as
PDF, then using pdftops or similar to convert that to .eps.

Typically saving your Ipe-produced PDF or EPS with any other program will
eliminate the embedded Ipe commands.
