bad "crop" of eps-file

[nkirov]

Hello!
The following simple command:

convert -crop 50%x100% +repage td_093_1_01.eps td.eps

gives a very poor result. You can download the example file from:

Can anyone help me?

Regards,

The argument order should be:
convert td_093_1_01.eps -crop 50%x100% +repage td.eps

"Very poor result" in what way? You want the original image split into two halves? Does it work if you output to a file format other that eps?

What IM version and platform?

The image has vector data. IM converts this to raster, so the "-density" setting (before the input file) may be useful.

The result will be raster data in an EPS wrapper. If you want to retain the data as vector, IM is not the appropriate tool.

Thanks snibo!
Do you know any tool for processing eps as vector data?

You might search google. Perhaps you can convert to SVG and edit the SVG file. See for example http://chrisdown.wordpress.com/2007/12/ ... onversion/
