Description: ------------ This package degrades JPEG images on the fly to a given resolution to decrease the size of the resulting PostScript or PDF file. Requirements: ------------- You'll need the convert utility from the ImageMagick bundle and the jpeg2ps program from CTAN if you don't use VTeX. Because of the script "degrade.sh" this package works only on Unix-like systems. Installation: ------------- Put the script "degrade.sh" in your $PATH and make it executable. Put "degrade.sty" in a place where TeX can find it. Commands: --------- \DegSetup{key=value,...} Known keys are: * res to set the resolution in dpi (default=100, example: res=300) * dir to set the directory where to put the resized jpeg files (default=degrade) * sdir to set the directory where images should be found in general (default: current directory) \degimage[w|h]{width or height}{image} Use this instead of \includegraphics to include your image. example 1: \degimage{\linewidth}{flower}, example 2: \degimage[h]{0.5\textheight}{power} Author: ------- Peter M�nster, email: pmrb at free.fr
