NCAR Folks,
I've noticed in a PostScript file (generated by NCAR Graphics / ctrans)
that one of the larger polygon shapes is filled with many many lines,
instead of being outined and filled. Not only does this create larger
PostScript files, but it also occasionally causes us problems when
printing.
Upon researching this, under man ctrans, the description of the '-soft'
option seems to explain this. It says that if the limit on the number
of vertices describing a polygon is known, it may perform the
soft-fill without user specification. My intuition tells me that this
is what is happening. However we are running on UNIX platforms
IBM RISC/6000 and SGI workstations, and I believe there is plenty
of memory available. So is there some way I can specify the limit
on the number of vertices describing a ploygon before soft-fill
kicks in ?? or some other option I can use to disable the soft-fill ??
Or am I entirely out in left-field on this one ??
Any and all suggestions are appreciated.
Thanx !!
