NAME
     psfigTeX - PostScript figures in TeX

SYNTAX
     \input psfig

DESCRIPTION
     psfigTeX is a package that allows easy inclusion of arbi-
     trary PostScript code into a TeX document.  Figures are
     automatically scaled and translated, and the correct amount
     of space is reserved so nothing conflicts with other text on
     the page.  The dvips postprocessor must be used to create
     the final PostScript output.

USAGE
     To include a postscript file, invoke the psfig macro
     ``\psfig{figure=fig.ps}'', where ``fig.ps'' is the name of a
     PostScript file. Options may be specified in the form
     ``\psfig{figure=fig.ps,opt=val,opt=val...}''; recognized
     options include height, width, prolog, and postlog. If a
     height but not a width is given or vice-versa, the figure
     will be scaled equally in both dimensions; if niether is
     given, the figure's ``natural'' size will be used.

     For psfig to properly scale and move a figure, it must be
     able to tell what it's natural size and position on the page
     are. This is usually specified by the bounding box comment
     in the PostScript file. Unfortunately, some applications
     (including MacDraw) do not provide this information. If your
     figure doesn't have a bounding box comment (a line starting
     with %%BoundingBox:), it cannot be used by psfigtex. The
     bbfig utility can calculate the bounding box of a file (so
     can a ruler). See the bbfig(l) manual page for information
     on the correct format of the comment. Usually the bounding
     box comment is the second line of the file.

MACINTOSH FIGURES
     Macintosh figures require a prolog file to be downloaded
     containing PostScript procedure definitions. Use the option
     ``prolog=/usr/lib/ps/mac.pro'' to achieve this. See the
     psfigtex paper for more detailed information, especially if
     there are many mac figures.

DRAFT MODE
     If a figure is very expensive to print (say a 100K image) it
     can be set in draft mode, printing just the name of the
     file. The macro \psdraft switches into draft mode and
     \psfull returns to full mode. Use of draft mode is highly
     encouraged.

BUGS
     The ``\psfig{...}'' command must be entirely on one input
     line, and no extra spaces may appear in the option list.

     When a ``\psfig'' command is used alone in a centering
     environment, it must be preceded by a hard space ``\ ''.
     This may be a LaTeX bug.

     On very large documents, the laserwriter has been known to
     run out of memory and only print a portion of the document.
     Use the printer memorysize command to dvips to limit the
     amount of memory dvips thinks it can use.
