Origin of tiger.eps? (aka "cubic spline tiger")
I wonder if the tiger.eps file (a.k.a. "cubic spline tiger") that comes with Ghostscript is worthy of note in this article (see http://www.levien.com/svg/ for the image I'm referring to). The file seems to have taken on a life of its own, as it seems to be the standard test image of just about every piece of vector graphics software out there (especially SVG software). I would write something about it, but I'm very fuzzy on the details. In particular:
- Did it originate with Ghostscript?
- Is it an original work of Aladdin Software, or is it derived from an older public domain source?
- Is the information in the header correct? (e.g. CreationDate: 4/12/90 3:20 AM)
- Who created it?
Here's the source code for tiger.eps from ghostscript.com. Anyone with more knowledge on the subject up for taking a crack at it? -- RobLa 07:49, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
CutePDF Adware?
Is there a source of for the assertion that CutePDF has adware? I'm not aware that it does.
Evidently a bundled plug-in at one point incorporated adware. See: [1] 12.38.23.162 21:10, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
