really need this!
I searched the web a lot for a software including the features of posteRazor (mainly the overlap feature is very rare, which i really need) toghether with the halftone features (b/w, single color, color mode) that rasterbator for example has.

by this feature people could be able to use thick panels (say 1,5 cm) covered with the printed pdf for hanging the poster to the wall, bending the print over the sides of the panel with the overlapped part of the print: perfect effect!

hope you'll consider this.
thanks in advance
Angelo

Hi,
Actually half toning is one feature I already spent some thought on. It would indeed be great.
With the current refactorings of PosteRazor that happen in trunk, half toning will certainly possible to implement. I need to find some free resources where half toning algorithms are described, then the pdf output capability needs to be enhanced to enable drawing of filled circles instead of pixmaps.

I will definitely keep that idea alive, but can not make any time estimations.
Thanks,
Alessandro

No progress on this, I guess?
