Postscript conversion to animated GIF

[jayhawk]

Hi everyone!

What's the best way to convert relatively huge (up to 60 Mb) "ps and/or eps" Postscript multipage files to animated GIF ones?

Thank you very much indeed

To convert a multipage Postscript to animated GIF sequence, use this command:

• convert -limit memory 32 -limit map 32 image.ps image.gif

The limit option forces the pixel cache to disk to avoid bringing your computer to its knees during the conversion.

Hi!

Thank you very much indeed for the answer, but I'm still having problems while converting multipage PS/EPS files to animated GIF's. The error message I got is:

Code: Select all

convert: unable to extend cache `/tmp/magick-XXzqZehn': No such file or directory.

Any idea?

Set a path for temporary files to a location with plenty of free space. For example,

• export MAGICK_TMPDIR /data
