Hi there (sorry for the cross-posting),

I have some eps plot (done with IDL, some of them in colours) that are
far too big.

I should upload them on online archive server and I have to resize
them. I have tried something like the following command (I'm using
linux)

gs -r300 -dEPSCrop -dTextAlphaBits=4 -sDEVICE=png16m
-sOutputFile=fig.png -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE fig.eps

but it does not work.

I was wondering if there's any tip or trick to reduce the size of the
eps file to be used in a latex file.
I have opened the eps file with text editor and canceled the %% lines.
That reduce the size of almost nothing :(
Apparently IDL is clever and there aren't any redundant fonts ...

I would also be interested in know if there's any command to give IDL
in order to produce file with lower dimension (maybe a good compromise
between quality and size...)

Thanks a lot!
s.
