SYNOPSIS

10       fig2ps2tex file
11
12

DESCRIPTION

14       Fig2ps2tex  generates  a  TeX file for including a PostScript file in a
15       TeX document.  This involves calculating  the  bounding  box  from  the
16       Postscript document.  The TeX inclusion file is written to stdout.
17
18       There  is  also  Fig2ps2tex.sh  for those systems without csh and/or dc
19       (Linux for example).
20
21       Note that  the  psfig  macro  package  provides  a  more  sophisticated
22       approach to including Postscript files in LaTeX docuements.  Fig2ps2tex
23       works with plain TeX however.

25

USAGE

27       Assume the Postscript file is called foo.ps .  The command
28
29                            % fig2ps2tex foo.ps >foo.tex
30
31       will create the inclusion file with bounding information.  Then include
32       this file in your TeX document with the command
33
34                                     \input{foo}
