Re: TPad based legend shown on screen and eps, not png/gif.

Hi Brett,
I appologize, I was not correct in my previous statements. The ROOT TPostScript, TPDF drivers were highly optimized by Olivier Couet in order to minimize an amount of PS instructions for drawing operations. So, an output EPS file does not contain 0.5 millions "line draw" instructions (much less). For your case which deals with huge ammout of points in TGraph using TPostScript, TPDF is an optimal.
TImageDump class was developed very recently and it lacks of such optimization and not ready for dealing with such cases. At the moment I'm working on optimisation of TImageDump in a way how it was done in TPostScript, TPDF classes.

Regards. Valeriy
