I was trying to incorporate a bitmap into a tgif drawing at 600 dpi,
without success. I think I uncovered a bug in tgif which can be
reproduced as follows.

###########################################
# 1) Download a 600x 600 pixel png image
###########################################

wget http://www.jab.org/test.png

################################################
# 2) Convert the bitmap to eps with imagemagick
#################################################

convert -density 600x600dpi test.png test.eps2
cp test.eps2 test.eps

####################################
# 3) Import the eps file into tgif
####################################

Using the GUI menu,

         File-->Import-->Import EPS file

Tgif should place the image as 2.54cm x 2.54cm,
but instead places the image as 1.5cm x 1.5cm,
which (disastrously) messes up the images
resolution.

This looks like a tgif bug to me. Lyx has no problem
placing or printing the same EPS file. Thoughts?
Workarounds?
