And free. I've been looking for such software some years ago, but got it just recently , and I'm so happy :D http://xaraxtv.at.tut.by/downloads.htm Remember to use Copy2ClpBrd, and then ctrl+v in your vector program.

Ok, but they could be better. I been searching for weeks on end about vector halftone dots. I came across a few stock sites looking for various patterns to help me out with a few projects. Over at vetcorstock.com there is one guy that has some neat patterns. I bought a few from there and they're circular. See here: http://vectorstock.com/gallery/1078/ I guess i'll have to suffice with the above programs and just give them a workaround. Anyways, thanks for the mention of this, it's been of good help from what I was previously doing. -T I’ve tried all 3 programs and mine dont look that spectacular. Ok, but they could be better.

Scriptographer seems to be a good tool, but does not work at all on my Intel Mac with CS3. It appears correctly, but none of the scripts starts, just do nothnig... Do you have any Idea, why? hi

I find it very difficult to figure out things like maximum dot size when Verctoraster and Scriptographer have arbitrary "size" panels that dont seem to correlate to anything. My way? make the halftone high res in photoshop. Live trace it and then use Filter>Convert to Shape>Ellipse. It makes perfect circles and I find it give me far more control over exact size and shape. The others are great at just making vector halftones, but really disappoint when you need something more technical. Is anyone else annoyed by how obscure the control panels are on these programs?
