Ghostscript anti-aliases for complex files?

Author	Message
Jaso #1 / 6	Ghostscript anti-aliases for complex files? I have a problem with ghostscript (v3.3 and v5.5). I am generating a postscript file from perl. When there are few lines and arcs (say 100), I get nice crisp 600dpi output. But, when the postscript file is more complex (about 1500) the output seems to drop to 300 dpi and the output is anti-aliased (which looks like {filter}on my laser printer.) Is there some memory limit I'm hitting? Anyone experienced similar problems with complex images? Any info much appreciated! :jason

Please make a sample program, test it on GS 6.60 and submit a bug report. See doc/bug-form.htm and doc/bug-info.htm . Regards, Alex Cherepanov Technical Support Artifex Software. Inc.

I believe this now to be a problem with my printer. I guess too many gsave/grestores and too many arcs, lines must have hit some sort of memory limit. ghostscript and ghostview don't seem to complain. I'm using an HP LaserJet 6L. Anyone know how you can tell if you've run out of memory on your printer? :jason Quote: >> I am generating a postscript file from perl.
