Q&A

Here are some frequently asked questions about Pixie.

What's wrong with .GIF and .JPG?

Does the world really need yet another graphics format? Why not use an existing vector format, like XFIG?

Why Java? Why not use an add-in for Netscape?

Not everyone can run Java, either.

What about people who have Java, but who are still using old versions of it?

What about browsers with Java-related bugs?

OK. Understood. Why can't I use Pixie to draw my pictures?

So what formats does Pixie understand?

Can I use Pixie in ImageMaps? What about slide shows?

How much smaller are Pixie files likely to be?

Well, that all makes sense. What next?
