Hello,everybody,
I have a problem while using context to create some flowcharts. The beginning of my tex source file looks like:
\setupoutput[pdftex] \usemodule[chart]
Naturally I got a flowchart in pdf version. But a pdf version flowchart is not suitable for inserting into a paper or a report. Then I try to use software to convert it from pdf format into some other imgage formats. But none of them was satisfied. I wonder how can I direct get a flowchart in some imgage formats (e.g. in png, jpg format) from the source tex file. Are there some tricks in the settings of the tex source file?
Pdf _IS_ suitable for inserting into a paper or a report. What makes you
think otherwise? Jpeg is not suitable for figures with contrasting edges,
and png (because it doesn't scale) is a poor choice for figures that
consist of lines and text.
There are many good tools to do the conversions you mention, starting
with a pdf file. It is easy to find these tools on the internet and
they are discussed in books such as "The LaTeX Graphics Companion".
