- If you have DPS extensions on your server and a DPS compile time environment you
- can do this quite well with xfig. Check out the version on
- crocus.medicine.rochester.edu. Corel Draw will also let you do this, but can
- only read AI format PostScript files. This may mean you will have to do some
- conversion. I have been doing this recently with simple PostScript vector images
- instead of using the xfig approach.
