get eps

Purpose
To convert third-party outlines in eps PostScript format to models that can be used in GIG.

Usage
Before an eps file can be converted using get eps, the eps file must be placed in the intlib directory of the active project and must have the extension '.eps' (in lower case). Click on the get eps button to activate it. The selection submenu will be displayed where you can make your selection. The selected eps file will be converted to (possibly a set of) Nurbs curves. This can be done for contour as well as spine curves.

Comments
To move or copy the eps file to the right directory:

Select the project you want to use in the general menu.
Select to system in the general menu.
In the UNIX window, copy the eps file to the intlib directory of the desired project using the UNIX 'cp' command. For example:

cp outline.eps ~gig/projects/my_prj/intlib/outline.eps

The eps file can now be converted using get eps. See also the get eps tool in the channels menu.
