Width of lines in EPS file too thick

Symptoms

A user exported a cone as an .eps file and took the file over to Adobe Photoshop using the 'place' command (which imports the eps as a vector graphic). When he scaled up the image, the line of the conic section became extremely thick.

Cause

The line (before rescaling) should be 0.5 points thick. A point is 1/72th of an inch. We did not choose the thinest possible line because -at least on our system using GhostView- it showed up as a vague gray line which is almost invisible.

Solution / workaround

This problem is fixed in Cone Layout version 2.0 by making the eps line width adjustable in the preferences window. Please download this new version if you are experiencing the problem above.
