I use Qgis map composer to output Grass rasters + vectors to an eps
(say A1), then cut that into A4 pieces with the poster (available
for Debian and forks), print them A4 pages. Worse if I will need to
edit the eps produced by QGIS further - does anyone know of an editor
able to import eps, preserving the raster, vector and text features,
edit it and save back to eps/ps/pdf?
