A raster format gives you a guaranteed cap on filesize. AFAICT a very complex vector eps could make TeXmacs very unresponsive.

A raster can guarantee a cap on file size but not render-ability. I have had useless rasters which cannot be resized without hair-lines randomly vanishing. 

AFAICT TeXmacs will render the complex eps vector ONCE and use the bitmap when editing but still use the eps in the .ps or .pdf file - and if it didn't, that really would be the better solution, don't you think?

TeXmacs is not a happy-go-lucky cheap and cheerful web editor it is a decent typesetting document editor.

If you are going to use PNG it had better be 300dpi at least. 

I think it would be better to use eps

Hi all,

Now I know how to output PS/EPS graphics. According to the manual
section "Interfering TeXmacs with other programs", I simply put

    fputs("\2ps:", stdout);
    fflush(stdout);
    system("cat ~/tmp.eps");
    fputs("\5{}{}\n\n", stdout);

into the code (see the attachment), now the EPS figure shows up. Can we
adjust the size and the position of the figure within TeXmacs?

Besides, I am wondering if we can display a PNG file, since those
rasterized formats have significantly smaller size and the program runs
faster. We should be able to choose between different formats to meet
different purposes.

One more question, can anybody who is familiar with Mathematica figure
out why "Export["./tmp.eps", expr]" sometimes outputs figures in the
wrong position, as is shown in the attachment where the main part is not
at the center? In contrast, PNG file does not have this problem.

Best,
Tian-Min
