</div>I need the picture both for reports/papers and for prosper<br>

Based on your suggestions, I get good results by the following:<br>
1) take the screeshot as a png file (at high resolution)<br>
2) convert it to eps with imagemagick<br>
3) include the eps figure in the latex file (no pdflatex)<br>
4) convert the resulting dvi document to pdf.<br>
One thing that I didn't notice at first is that, even though the eps<br>
picture seems to have a very low quality, the final pdf document is<br>
nice.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Seems like a reasonable workflow if you need to stick with prosper.</div><div><br></div><div>Marcus </div></div>
