I have found the reason that made PS_END not to covert PS file to
another type file.
Because my file path contains a space like 'C:\My Documents'.
The string 'cmd' in PS_END is 'convert -density 300 D:\My Documents
\lineplot.ps -resize 25% D:\My Documents\lineplot.png'
When the command 'SPAWN, cmd' is executed, the windows system cannot
identify 'My Documents' as a whole directory name.
So the double quotation marks shouble be added for the filename with
filepath.
The cmd become 'convert -density 300 "D:\My Documents\lineplot.ps" -
resize 25% "D:\My Documents\lineplot.png"'.
Therefore, I change the line 187 in PS_START/PS_END into
cmd = 'convert -density 300 ' + '"' + ps_struct.filename + '"' + ' -
resize 25% ' + '"' + outfilename + '"'
And now the command 'PS_END, /png' can create 'lineplot.png'
successfully.
But I want to konw how to call PS_START with the whole path filename,
for example:
ps_start,filename='D:\plot.ps'
