Re: SVG & PS/EPS surfaces

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. I find EPS tends to work best with Latex. 
Guile-cairo does not seem to support EPS, hence PS instead.

Have experimented a bit and thought maybe SVG would be the most 
compatible format, which seems to not be the case in reality.

I then tried to do everything in PDF but I still get raster images, not 
vectors. I did all the drawing in 100x100, so it does not look very 
nice, with very unclear edges even in unzoomed display.

As I only use move-to, line-to, arc, over operator, no alpha channel, it 
seems to be a little mystery why I cannot get vector output even with 
PDF?
