[lug] Converting postscript images to png or gif

[Riggs, Rob]

Ghostscript can do PNG output. 

gs -sDEVICE=png16m -sOutputFile=output.%d.png -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -q input.ps

I have several graphs that I've generated using Gnuplot that I would like
to use in a presentation I'm creating using StarOffice.  So far I've had
some luck saving these graphs in postcript form:

   set term postscript
   set output "myfile.ps"
   replot

and then loading myfile.ps into xv and saving it as a gif.  The resulting
image will load into StarPresents.  The problem is that it tends to be a
bit fuzzy or blurry.  Is there a better and perhaps more direct way to do
this?  Using PBM perhaps?
