To use psfig, you must +therefore be using a postscript device for your output. This version +of psfig/tex works with the unix "dvips" PostScript driver, which is +available from labrea.stanford.edu, and with OzTeX. + +It may also work with the ArborText "dvips" driver, and with the +"dvi2ps" written by Tony Li <tli@sargar.usc.edy>; see the +"unsupported" directory. + +================================================================== + +INSTALLATION + +To install psfig, simply copy psfig.sty into a directory on your TeX +include path (e.g. /usr/lib/tex/macros). + +If you are using OzTeX, change the driver line at the top of +the psfig.sty file to read + \def\setDriver{\OzTeXDriver} +instead of + \def\setDriver{\DvipsDriver} + + +A users guide and manual page can be found in the "doc" directory. + +For tips on dealing with Macintosh postscript, see the directory +"unsupported/macdemo/README". + +================================================================== + +BUGS + +If you use the letter style, make sure you include the psfig style +first. + +If you have an old version of dvips, you may need to make a patch to +use the compressed figure option, and to handle magnification +correctly. The files "unsupported/dospecial.[patch,frag]" contain a +patch and a corresponding code fragment for dvips' dospecial.c file. +To apply the patch copy dospecial.patch into your dvips directory and +run "patch < dospecial.patch", and then recompile. "dospcial.frag" +contains the modified portion of the code as it should appear in the +patched file. To use magnification with psfig and dvips, you need to +change the line + /magscale false def +in special.pro to + /magscale true def +in order to have the figures scaled correctly. + + + |
