Below I have a description of how I used to make buttons (using PAW to make a ps file), but it is much easier to write postscript from scratch. Here is an example, which was used to make the buttons on this page. Note that the postscript file contains 7 buttons (in the ps viewer, do page/next; somehow the page numbers do not show up in the viewer). Now when you do 'convert buttons_all.ps buttons_all.gif', all buttons are made at the same time, with extensions .gif.0, .gif.1 etc. One of the nice things about this method is that the gif files are already clipped to the size of the object in the ps file, not to ps outside bounding box.
