News: nowadays pdf compresses way better than dvi or ps (at least with those curves!). Actual test: 2.8M -rw-r--r-- 1 jj users 2.8M 2013-11-03 18:08 test.dvi 40K -rw-r--r-- 1 jj users 39K 2013-11-03 18:08 test.pdf 4.1M -rw-r--r-- 1 jj users 4.1M 2013-11-03 18:08 test.ps Let's compress (gzip -9): 96K -rw-r--r-- 1 jj users 95K 2013-11-03 18:08 test.dvi.gz 36K -rw-r--r-- 1 jj users 36K 2013-11-03 18:08 test.pdf.gz 316K -rw-r--r-- 1 jj users 315K 2013-11-03 18:08 test.ps.gz Still sure you want ps? Best, jj P.S.: If anybody does know how to make xdvi render the colors in the (embedded postscript from the) 'picture' environment, I'd be eternally grateful... * Henry Baker <hbaker1@pipeline.com> [Nov 03. 2013 18:01]:
Duh! Space-filling curves are hard to compress using typical compression algorithms.
But they're often quite easy to generate using the Postscript language.
I wonder if this book has a Postscript form?

A pointer to a neat picture book featuring very many "space filling" curves:
Warning: it is a hefty 235 Megabytes!
