---++ Mixing Text and Graphics
   * Micro high resolution histograms inside tabular descriptive statistics using !LaTeX =picture= environment
      * [[%ATTACHURL%/support.pdf PDF file]] | [[%ATTACHURL%/support.tex LaTeX file]] produced by =latex.describe= in the =Hmisc= package

---++ Utilities for Converting Graphics File Formats
   * The [[http://www.pstoedit.net][pstoedit]] program for Windows/NT, Linux, and UNIX. This program can convert postscript graphics files to a variety of other formats for editing and other purposes. The Windows version includes a Microsoft Office import plug-in for importing postscript files into documents.  
   * [[http://www.imagemagick.org/][ImageMagick]], an impressive program for converting between 68 graphics file formats.  
---++ Dealing with Background of an Image for Inclusion in a Slide Show
   * Using [[http://www.tankedup-imaging.com/gradient.html Gimp]] to use color gradients
   * Using the !ImageMagick =convert= command to change the background in a =jpg= or =png= file
      * =convert -transparent white  !SourceFile !DestFile= where =white= is the color to change to transparent
   * See other !ImageMagick links: http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/color_basics/ http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/color_mods/
