____________ 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{} - insert a Mathematica graphic (without -psfrag suffix) \matlabfig{} - insert a Matlab graphic \psfragfig{} - insert an EPS with psfrag statements in either or both of the files -psfrag.tex -psfrag.tex The above commands also accept an optional argument which is passed to \includegraphics. _________________________ Will Robertson, Nov. 2006
