I think some of the problems arise from gl2ps not knowing which lines
should be joined -- You can give it a hint by using GL_LINE_STRIP and
GL_LINE_LOOP when drawing connected lines, but I think even then it
doesn't do it right on some circumstances. Agagin, this is a
shortcoming of OpenGL, not gl2ps
Thanks for your reply. I'm actually using GL_LINE_STRIP and GL_LINE_LOOP. In very simple cases, gl2ps makes indeed a Miter join. But if the figure get more complex, all lines are drawn seperatly in the eps export (and thus no line join). On the screen, there is no line join at all.
Perhaps, a line join must be coded explicitly in opengl.
