Around two years ago I'd done a scalable vector version of beastie using sketch (ports/graphics/sketch), and posted it to freebsd-advocacy and also to the Sketch developer (who promptly put it in their gallery). I took Kirk McKusick's approval for its appearance first. The resulting eps file is quite a bit smaller than the existing beastie (/usr/share/examples/BSD_daemon/beastie.eps) and, imo, looks nicer. Since I've just had some strong positive feedback on it (which reminded me of its existence), I'm submitting the eps for feedback and possible inclusion in the /usr/share/examples/BSD_daemon directory. I can supply the sketch .sk source file on request; I don't think it can be converted to xfig format. Note: if viewing with ghostscript, gv or ghostview, do not use anti-aliasing. Fix: Below is a uuencoded gzipped eps file.
Responsible Changed From-To: freebsd-doc->remko Perhaps this is something for the arts page's (thanks simon for mentioning that). I will look into that.
Responsible Changed From-To: remko->freebsd-doc Return to pool, not enough time at the moment to look into this. When I do have it I'll work on it again.
Responsible Changed From-To: freebsd-doc->eadler do you still have this file? tar, file, and gunzip, do not recognize it as a gzip file. This may be why it sat for so long :(
State Changed From-To: open->feedback do you still have this file? tar, file, and gunzip, do not recognize it as a gzip file. This may be why it sat for so long :(
State Changed From-To: feedback->closed we would like to include this, but the supplied file does not work (feedback timeout)
Sorry for late reply. I'm attaching the EPS file. (The original was uuencoded, which is what I was used to doing in those days. For some reason "download" retrieved a corrupted file, but the text ("begin".."end") was correct. I'm sure one could do much better these days! There should be ways to automatically convert your beastie image to a scalable pdf (who uses eps any more?)
