I'm completely aware of that, but if the resulting JPEGs are large,
manuals with a large amount of figures would require a lot of disk
space. This might not be acceptable for some.
For now I then propose to use jpeg unless the size gets too big.
But let's first create some figures (and manuals :-) to see how
things get.
Thanks,
