[io47]

   Hello,

I have been trying to use pstoedit to generate a .mp
file but it doesn't work :-( I have followed these
steps:

1.- With Gimp: test.gif -> Save as: test.ps
2.- pstoedit (as Metafun manual indicates): pstoedit
-ssp -dt -f mpost test.ps test.mp
But test.mp seems empty (just lines with % and so)

So, any link to continue reading? Any suggestion?

   Regards,
   Jorge

first make sure that you have an up to date gs; versions between 8.10 and 8.31 
don't work well with pstoedit (8.31+ is ok)

can pstoedit trace bitmap files? I've never used it, but I'd guess
that with "ps" only vector based postscript graphics are meant. And
.gif is not vector graphics but pixel graphics.
