-
- I have written some LaTeX macros that make it easy to overlay postscript
- figures with fragments of LaTeX. I use these macros to place nice
- LaTeX equations and math symbols on top of postscript figures. The
- macros are available via anonymous ftp as described below.
-
- Description:
-
- * PsFrag is a set of LaTeX macros for overlaying postscript figures with
- fragments of LaTeX. More precisely, the PsFrag macros allow specific
- pieces of postscript text in a postscript figure (included via \epsfbox
- or \special) to be replaced with arbitrary fragments of LaTeX. When
- your document is latex'ed and dvips'ed, each piece of postscript text
- is replaced by the LaTeX text.
-
- The postscript file might be produced, for example, by xfig, idraw,
- matlab, xmath, etc. Each string displayed by postscript's show operator
- is a candidate for replacement by LaTeX text, math symbols, equations,
- pictures etc. For example, you can include a matlab plot in a LaTeX
- document with the title, axis labels, and legend generated by LaTeX.
-
- The LaTeX fragments can be optionally rotated, scaled, and repositioned
- relative to the text being replaced. The LaTeX fragments automatically
- track the postscript text position as the scaling and offsets of the
- \special or \epsfbox are changed.
-
- * PsFrag is available via anonymous ftp from isl.stanford.edu
- (internet address 36.60.0.10). Get the compressed tar file
-
- pub/boyd/psfrag/psfrag.tar.Z
-
- Extract the archive using uncompress and tar xvf (or gtar zxvf):
-
- uncompress psfrag.tar.Z
- tar xvf psfrag.tar
-
- See the files README, USAGE, INSTALL for detailed information.
- If you can't ftp then I can email you a uuencoded version.
-
- * Note: PsFrag uses ghostscript (gs) from the gnu distribution, and assumes
- that your dvi to ps driver is Tomas Rokicki's dvips (Radical Eye Software).
- You will need both of these programs to use PsFrag. Basically, PsFrag uses
- ghostscript to interpret the postscript figure and spit out a LaTeX
- picture environment that exactly lines up with the postscript figure.
