+Exporting alignments as graphics and lineart

For low quality
+diagrams and powerpoint presentations
+
+- EPS - an Encapsulated Postscript Document
For high quality
+diagrams and publications.

+Tips for working with EPS Files
+The EPS file generated by jalview contains vector graphics which are directly
+ editable in graphics applications such as Adobe Illustrator.
+EPS files can be produced as "Text" or "Lineart". Use
+ "Text" if you want the final document to be MUCH smaller in diskspace
+ and be able to search, edit and select text. Use "Lineart" if you
+ want an exact image of the alignment as displayed in Jalview. This is useful
+ if a 3rd Party EPS viewer does not have the same Font which the EPS file was
+ created with.
+When importing an EPS into to a Microsoft office document, a snapshot image of the
+ file will be displayed which often looks blurred. Right-click the
+ image and choose "Edit image." to convert it to word
+ drawing objects which give a truer WYSIWIG representation.
+
+
+ Mac OSX users will find that eps files are automatically converted into
+ PDF files.
