+AUTO-PST-PDF

+

+BASIC USAGE

+This package provides a wrapper around pst-pdf to automatically

+accomodate for typesetting either with DVI or PDF output. With

+default package option [on], typesetting under pdfLaTeX will

+automatically initiate a LaTeX->dvips->ps2pdf->pdfcrop run to

+generate the required PDF figures for the document.

+

+After this has been done and the figures no longer need to be

+re-generated, the package can be given the [off] option to save

+compilation time.

+

+REQUIREMENTS

+pdfTeX must be called with the --shell-escape option, and Heiko

+Oberdiek's pdfcrop Perl script must be installed.

+

+Loads the following packages for convenience:

+  color,graphicx,psfrag,pst-pdf

+

+Requires e-TeX because I'm lazy.

+

+ADDITIONAL USAGE

+Macros are provided to easily facilitate figures created by the

+MATLAB package laprint and the Mathematica package MathPSfrag. Also,

+a generic psfrag wrapper is provided.

+

+ \mathfig{<filename>}   - insert a Mathematica graphic 

+                          (without -psfrag suffix)

+ \matlabfig{<filename>} - insert a Matlab graphic

+ \psfragfig{<filename>} - insert an EPS with psfrag statements 

+                          in either or both of the files 

+                            <document>-psfrag.tex 

+                            <filename>-psfrag.tex

+

+The above commands also accept an optional argument 

+which is passed to \includegraphics.
