Installation:
-------------
In order to use gastex you only need two files:
-- gastex.sty which contains the definition of all the LaTeX macros (this file
-could be in your working folder or where other .sty files are).
-- gastex.pro which contains all the postscript procedures (this file could
-be in your working folder but it is best placed where the tex.pro file is).
-
-Usage: latex+dvips(+ps2pdf)
+- gastex.sty which contains the definition of all the LaTeX macros. This file
+could be in your working folder or where other .sty files are, e.g.,
+ .../texmf-dist/tex/latex/gastex/gastex.sty
+ or
+ .../texmf-local/tex/latex/gastex/gastex.sty
+- gastex.pro which contains all the postscript procedures. This file
+could be in your working folder or where other .pro files are, e.g.,
+ .../texmf-dist/dvips/gastex/gastex.pro
+ or
+ .../texmf-local/dvips/gastex/gastex.pro
+
+Usage: latex+dvips(+ps2pdf) filename.tex
------
- Compile the source file with latex (not pdflatex) and generate the ps file
with dvips. One may then use ps2pdf to get a pdf file.
+Usage: pdflatex --shell-escape filename.tex
+------
+- Requires the package auto-pst-pdf.
+
Remarks:
--------
-- gastex mainly generates postscript code so the pictures cannot be seen with a
-dvi-viewer. One has to generate a ps file (latex+dvips) and view it with a
-ps-viewer. One can also generate a pdf file (latex+dvips+ps2pdf) and view
-it with a pdf-viewer.
-- gastex does not work with pdflatex since it produces postscript code
-which cannot be interpreted by a pdf viewer. Instead, one should generate
-the pdf file with latex+dvips+ps2pdf.
-
-Examples:
----------
-- Several examples are provided on the gastex web page at
-http://www.lsv.ens-cachan.fr/~gastin/gastex/gastex.html
-- ex-gastex.tex contains some examples to learn gastex and to test your
-installation.
-- ex-beamer-gastex.tex shows how gastex may be used with beamer in order to
-produce very nice animated slides. You have to compile the file through
-latex-dvips-ps2pdf (not pdflatex).
-
-Documentation:
---------------
-See http://www.lsv.ens-cachan.fr/~gastin/gastex/gastex.html
-The best is to learn with the examples (see above).
-Comments in the file gastex.sty provide documentation for all macros.
