Hi,

I use tiddly wiki as a lab notebook and journal and it is wonderful (thanks a lot!), the only thing is that I have lots of plots in EPS format which I'd like to display in tiddlers. At the moment I have to keep two copies of the same plot one in EPS and one in some other format which can be displayed in a tiddler.
Is there a way to display images (plots) in EPS, PS, or PDF format in tiddlers?

Hi,
You should be able to convert your EPS file to PDF, which is viewable in the browser. ... If the browser supports it.
If you search this group for the term "PDF", you should find some more hints.

Hi Majid,

I use the following code to display my collection of user manuals in PDF format in my tiddlers...

<object data="./path/to/filename.pdf" type="application/pdf" width="100%" height="540px"></object>

This requires that your web browser supports PDF viewing. I don't know about EPS or PS files though, sorry.

Hegart.

Hi guys,

Thank you for your help. I used Hegart's suggestion and it works fine for PDFs.
I tried to modify it for ps or eps files by using type="application/postscript but it turns out that my browser (Firefox) does not have a postscript viewer and I couldn't find any plugin for it. So I think I stick to pdf for the moment.

Thank you again.
Majid
