\centerline{\twlbf Graphics in \TeX}
\bigskip\bigskip\par\noindent
\TeX\ can incorporate PostScript files created by applications
such as Mathematica, CA-DISSPLA, GIF-to-PS converters, and 
TIFF-to-PS converters. For example:
\bigskip\par\noindent
{\twlbf Mathematica (PostScript image created on a NeXT):}
\bigskip\par\noindent
\epsfxsize=5in
\epsffile{eightpi.ps}
\bigskip\bigskip\par\noindent
{\twlbf CA-DISSPLA (PostScript image created on the VAX):}
\bigskip\par\noindent
\special{psfile=disspla2.ps hscale=50 vscale=50 voffset=350}
\vfill\eject
\par\noindent
{\twlbf GIF Files Converted to PostScript (GIF from WUARCHIVE.WUSTL.EDU):}
\bigskip\par\noindent
This image was converted from GIF format to PS by taking the raw GIF image
into the ViewGif application on a NeXT and then ``printing'' the GIF image 
to a file. The NeXT Icon application was then used to insure that 
the resulting file had reasonable length lines, and finally, a PostScript 
translate instruction was manually added to the PostScript file to achieve 
the required horizontal placement of the image on the page.
\bigskip\bigskip\bigskip\par\noindent
\epsffile{fishyl.eps}
\bigskip\bigskip\bigskip\par\noindent
{\twlbf TIFF Files Converted to PostScript (Scanned Images)}
\bigskip\par\noindent
These two sample TIFF files (of the author and his wife) were created 
from photos digitized on an Apple flatbed Scanner in (relatively crude) 
16 bit greyshade mode, then converted to EPS on a NeXT using the 
tifftoeps converter written by Eric P. Scott of San Francisco State 
University. The NeXT Icon application was then used to crop the images 
and generate the resulting PostScript files.
