Great, it's veru powerful.
I just have a question: I would like to have a manual shape (I mean I
draw all the points and then there's my shape): for the moment, your
tutorial works only for an automatical shape.
I tried to make a bezier curve, but it's not a shape, and the "combine
polygons" doesn't work.
The idea that I have is to make a shape, and then to move the points in
order to make the shape I wan't. But isn't it possible to make a closed
shape like a bezier curve?
Anyway, this does also work with eps files. See the document, with the
barcode.
Many thanks
Raphael
