On the other hand, many +LaTeX-based drawing packages are not as expressive or easy-to-use as the +many advanced drawing packages that produce EPS output. + +PSfrag provides the best of both worlds by allowing the user to +precisely overlay Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) files with arbitrary +LaTeX constructions. In order to accomplish this, the user places a +simple text ``tag'' in the graphics file, as a ``position marker'' of +sorts. Then, using simple LaTeX commands, the user instructs PSfrag to +remove that tag from the figure, and replace it with a properly sized, +aligned, and rotated LaTeX equation. + +The full documentation for PSfrag found in the release contains examples +and usage instructions. + +To use PSfrag... +---------------- + +...you will need: + +* LaTeX2e and the "graphics" package. (You can use the old epsf.sty + macros with PSfrag, but you still need the graphics package.) Please + make sure to get the newest versions of these packages from CTAN + before submitting bug reports. + +* If you plan to use PSfrag with the Seminar package, make sure you + get the 10/97 release of this package. + +* Any DVI-to-PostScript program that is well-supported by the "graphics" + package. This author uses Tom Rokicki's "dvips"; I recommend it. + PSfrag has also been verified for DVIPSone from Y&Y (using Level 2 + PostScript printers). + +Bugs? What Bugs? +---------------- + +PSfrag 3.04 is bug-free. Of course, we're kidding. That's what we said +about PSfrag 3.0, in fact, and look where it got us. + +If you have problems, bug reports, or improvement suggestions, please +send them to the PSfrag maintainer's mailing list, + +psfrag@rascals.stanford.edu + +Please supply an example .tex file and .eps figure to demonstrate the +behavior you wish to have corrected or improved. + +This is a majordomo mailing list; feel free to join if you would like to +actively participate in PSfrag development. + +Thanks for using PSfrag! -- cgit v1.2.3
