| tbuckley | need to run ghostscript on embedded linux, need pointer to min settings for -dMaxBitmap=50000 -dBufferSpace=50000 -K2000K | 15:10.48 |
| kens | I guess the min settings would be 0 for everything | 15:11.22 |
| | Useful numbers would depend entirely on what you are trying to do, and the amount of memory in the device | 15:11.44 |
| | Also, why on earth are you trying to run Ghostscript on embedded Linux ? | 15:11.58 |
| tbuckley | if -K is less than 2000K I can't get pass init | 15:12.29 |
| | have not found a way to convert text to image for a print requirement | 15:13.19 |
| kens | -K is the total amount of memory GS can use. *if* you set it (and yo need not) then yes, you're going to need a larger number than that. How large ? Depends on what you are trying to do | 15:14.05 |
| | tbuckley : is this a personal project ? Open source project ? Something else ? | 15:14.32 |
| tbuckley | is there better info on banding? | 15:14.43 |
| kens | All the information there is, is in the documentation. | 15:15.13 |
| | As I said, nobody can advise you without knowing an *awful* lot more about what you are trying to do, and teh device you are trying to do it on | 15:15.35 |
| tbuckley | need pointer to general low memory ghostscript environments | 15:18.23 |
| kens | Again; can you please tell me whether this is a personal project, an open source project, or something else ? | 15:18.55 |
| tbuckley | guess it is something else, device has need to print, arm environment, min memory | 15:20.41 |
| kens | WEll if its not a personal project, nor an open source project, then it sounds like commercial use, in which case you are going to need a commercial licence | 15:21.08 |
| tbuckley | pointer to commercial license and what is provided? | 15:21.51 |
| kens | You probably want to investigate the cost of that before going any further; we don't want you to waste your time if it turns out you can't use Ghostscript because its not commercially viable for you | 15:21.52 |
| | If you go tohttp://www.artifex.com | 15:22.04 |
| | press the green 'contact us' button | 15:22.11 |
| | Then fill in the little form, someone will contact you about commercial terms | 15:22.25 |
| | Commercial licencees are entitled to support, free users get support entirely at our discretion | 15:22.58 |
| tbuckley | so is there a low memory ghostscript available? | 15:23.11 |
| kens | So if we don't htink your problem is interesting, or applicable to other people, or we're jsut too busy, then we won't help you | 15:23.16 |
| | there is only one version of Ghostscript. You can build it in different ways, you cna configure it in different ways after building it, but its all the same source. | 15:23.48 |
| | Commercial licencees. of course, we help to the absolute limit of our ability | 15:24.18 |
| tbuckley | so there is no low memory solution currently available | 15:24.40 |
| kens | There is no specific 'low memory' version of Ghostscript. Ghostscript can be configured to run using little memory. Exactly how much depends on your requirements in terms of media size, resolution, colour depth, what kind of input you want to handle (PS, PDF, XPS, PCL, all of the above) | 15:25.39 |
| | None of which information you have yet provided | 15:25.53 |
| | Oh nad performance requirements as well of ocurse, to an extent it costs performance to use less memory | 15:26.26 |
| | Well, I guess he didn't like the answers | 15:27.06 |
