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.
