what is it? =========== psfig/tex -- include PostScript (and Macintosh) figures inside a TeX document. Features: simple, clean interface psfig automatically positions the figure at the current pen position figures can be scaled easily implemented as a TeX macro package; has been brought up under unix and VMS. From the abstract of the documentation (sans figures, of course): ================================================================= Psfig/tex is a new macro package for TeX that facilitates the inclusion of arbitrary PostScript figures into TeX documents. Figures are automatically scaled and positioned on the page, and the proper amount of space is reserved. Custom characters may be created and used freely throughout a document. Since the Macintosh drawing applications produce PostScript, they can be used to create figures. System Requirements: ==================== Right now only dvips (from TextSet or ArborText or whatever they are calling themselves this week) is the only supported postprocessor. Porting to dvi2ps should be easy, trivial for a good subset of psfig's features. I plan to tackle dvi2ps sometime in the future, but if anyone out there has a good knowledge of what the PostScript environment under dvi2ps looks like and a spare day, I'll be glad to show what has to be changed. Roadmap: ======== doc/ : contains the tex source to the documentation man/ : contains a man page (and a cleartext copy for non unix types) src/ : tex and postscript source for psfig/tex questions, comments, and complaints to trevor@grasp.cis.upenn.edu disclaimer: =========== I have an interest in keeping this thing working and I'll try to clean up any bugs, but there are no guarantees, and I am not interested in spending time getting psfig to run under foreign OS's. Feel free to adapt psfig to any particular application; however please retain the authorship notices, and send me a copy of any neat improvements.
