I’m learning shell scripts these days.
Below is a script which converts various image file formats (jpg, png, etc…) into eps format using ImageMagick.
LaTeX user might find this script useful.
#!/bin/sh
#A script which converts various image file formats into EPS format.
#Usage: image2eps.sh filename
#Wild card can be used.
if [ $# = 0 ]
then
echo "Please specify the files you want to convert!"
echo "Usage: image2eps.sh filename"
exit 1
fi
for image in "$@"
do
if [ -f $image ]
then
convert $image `echo eps2:$image | sed 's/\..*$/.eps/'`
else
echo "$image: No such file"
fi
done
