Hi,
GridFlow has a Pd patch to take screenshots of other Pd patches using
X11 (so: GNU/Linux, BSD, etc, possibly OS X, unlikely to work on Windows)
which works for really tall patches
Yes, you're right, I saw this idea in gridflow. I will try it.
Well ... basically to me the way to go is really with SVG as a
starting point. Because once you have SVG, you can use one of hundred different tools to convert to PNG, JPG or any image format you can dream of
With inkscape you can convert .ps into .svg : inkscape pd.ps --export-plain-svg=pd.svg
I don't know if we can command Pd to print patchs in .ps (in a command line). It could strong and cross-platform.
