Illustrator 88 to V3 Conversion for MATLAB
No License
Illustrator 10 no longer supports the illustrator 88 file format. This means that figures produced using the print -dill command cannot be imported directly into Illustrator.
The differences between v88 and v3, the earliest supported format, are minimal. This means that, for MATLAB, only the text tags need to updated to the new format.
A perl script (88convert.pl) is provided to make the necessary changes. This has been tested on most of the demo 2d and 3d graphics and no bugs have been found so far.
An updated print.m which automatically runs the perl script on any output produced by print -dill is also included.
Install the perlscript in a directory on your path and make it executable.
You can then either install the new print.m or issue the command:
!88convert [filename]
from the MATLAB prompt.
Files are backed up to filename.bak
