How may I convert Gri output to GIF format?
Conversion of the Gri PostScript output to GIF is normally done for inclusion in web-pages. For a discussion of the merits of various image formats, see Information Architecture. I have been told that GIF images suffer from both technical limitations (no gamma value is stored in the file) and license restrictions. The PNG format was designed to overcome these limitations, and is expected to replace GIF over time. It should also be noted that there is no generally acceptable way to convert PostScript to gif, especially when the PostScript is vector based. One problem is that of resolution: if the output GIF is low-resolution, then the text may be drawn roughly because of rasterization. In many convertors one may specify the size of the output image, which permits control over this resolution problem, giving the user the task of weighing file size against output quality. Note also that the colour table frequently gets reordered in the conversion, possibly leading to inaccurate results. S
