The result of this ranking had been previously created with Corel Draw (?) and look like this -------------------------- Title +------------------+ 100% | Name_1 | | Name_2 | ~ ~ | Name_n-1 | | Name_n | +------------------+ 25% Footnotes/remarks ------------------------- The name-pane is coloured green(100%) to red (25%) via yellow using a gradient shading. Is it possible to access with MP and/or direct writting the PS-3 / PDF-1.3 shading operator? (I think I once saw an exaple, probably for testing GS (due in a few weeks, current is 5.99-fix1). Second problem: Since the names (should) cover the complete colour-pane, arrows are currently drawn from the name to the percental position on the right edge. How can this best achived? (I'll use a PERL-Script, which reads the name and %-value, so I can do quite some calculation in it.) Groetjes, Tobias PS: I think if I've done this, I can ship a complete evaluation/ranking script package for university departments (web interface, fill-out forms, etc) ;-)
