FIG2PS2TEX(1)
NAME
fig2ps2tex - generate a TeX file for including a
PostScript file
SYNOPSIS
fig2ps2tex file
DESCRIPTION
Fig2ps2tex generates a TeX file for including a PostScript
file in a TeX document. This involves calculating the
bounding box from the Postscript document. The TeX inclu-
sion file is written to stdout.
There is also Fig2ps2tex.sh for those systems without csh
and/or dc (Linux for example).
Note that the psfig macro package provides a more sophis-
ticated approach to including Postscript files in LaTeX
docuements. Fig2ps2tex works with plain TeX however.
USAGE
Assume the Postscript file is called foo.ps . The command
% fig2ps2tex foo.ps >foo.tex
will create the inclusion file with bounding information.
Then include this file in your TeX document with the com-
mand
\input{foo}
