if you have a known image that is bad and its one or two colors-

enlarge the image 3xs its size 10x10 change to 30x30 you will loose no detail if you enlarge it first

export as a png

bring it back into inscape

revector it

resize it

and if you still have problems it is not the file

i hope i understood you correctly your using inkscape and you have an image that you would like to save as a *.plt file? when it saves your getting 0 bytes and there is no data? first is the image a vector ? if it is a raster you will not get any thing in the *.plt because there is nothing to plot. ...

i have a few videos on youtube ---- search linux tuxplot - that may be helpful

eps svg AI are all vector format

just thinking - no that isnt true all the way - if you do a shade from yellow to green there is no lines so there is no nodes -

there is no way to do that automated that i am aware of

yes that is true - everytime you add a color nodes and lines will auto build

ya it shoudl be able to do that why cant you just add a line yourself where you want it to be cut at

can you post it or email it to me i can take a look at it for ya

i dont get it - no i dont use Versaworks but the line color has to be called CutContour not black yellow and so on.

so if you make an eps file in AI or CORAL you have to rename the color also? i havent ever heard of that before.
