-Notes about how I made the icons and logos here (not in core distribution).

-ICONS
-=====
-
-Made with the Gimp.
-
-Icons to fit on the (default size) Emacs toolbars are 32x32. The ones
-with pictures were made at 256x256, then shrunk to have text added.
-
-Background grey is V74.
-Red for buttons is 135,13,13.
-
-Red background for web is 80,0,48
-
-CD player buttons based on font wptypographicsymbols, point size 28,
-placed at 5,2.
-
-Text is lucidafax demibold italic at point size 8.
-
-blank.xcf -- blank with correct background colour.
-
-Some icons I drew, some I stole from free sources.
-
-"Favicon" ident icon for web page: made from a 16x16 scaled down image of
-the general, making background colour transparent, save as gif then:
- convert pgminia.gif pgminia.ppm (ImageMagick)
- ppmtowinicon pgminia.ppm > favicon.ico
-Seems to work (but would be better to create both 16x16 and 32x32 sized
-icons in file, for desktop links).
-See http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/Author/dhtml/howto/ShortcutIcon.asp
-and http://www.favicon.com

-LOGOS
-=====
-
-Original text logo:
-
-script fu -> logos -> comic book
-
- StencilBT font
- Browns gradient
- 40pt Text size
- 4pt outline (NB: size of both black and shaded portion)
-
-Then I filled background with web page colour, and shaded portion
-with green colour.
-
-New text logo: same font, but made in blender file.
-
-
-Proof general logos
-===================
-
-Web page: scene with canvas backdrop. Render in blender at full size,
-then use gimp to scale to web size (250pix wide). This gives much
-nicer result than low-resolution render: textures are smoothed out
-more prettily.
-
-EPS (doc/ProofGeneral.eps): For texi documentation. Used another,
-wider image with alpha channel to (attempt to) leave background white
-on printed page. Post processing with gimp to add fuzzy border and
-white background since eps (gimp?) can't handle alpha channel.
-
- Width 5.00 "
- Height 7.87 (wrong, obviously: 3.48 is right by scaling)
-
- But: this is *page* size! The image size itself
- was square, I think.
- Size of tiff image is 904x903.
-
- X-offset 2.8 "
- Y-offset 1.0 "
- Rotation: 0
-
-Actually, Y-offset seems to have no effect on page position: what
-happens is that TeX compensates for the offset when it inserts the
-image! Changing the offset and retexing puts the image back where TeX
-wants it. Probably same true for X offset.
-
-Solving the size problem: original .eps is 8.4M. (Original xcf file
-is missing/not saved).
-
-Test procedure:
-
- 1. render at 239dpi (original file seems to have 1200x1200 image in
- it, this is closest I can get, makes 1199x1199 image).
- 2. save as pnm (gives 4.1M file)
- 3. Run pnmtoeps with -rle argument to get run length encoding. (4.1M)
- 4. gzip -9 -> gives 1.6M file.
-
-Just using gzip directly gives 1.6M file anyway.
-tiff is 1.5M. png is 1.2M. bz2 is 1.3M.
-
-Okay, so we'll distribute the original .eps file, gzipped.
-(It gets compressed inside the tar file anyway, of course, but
-leaving it zipped is less polluting).
