Contents of README:psfig/tex -- TeX macros for the inclusion of postscript figures ================================================================== COPYRIGHT NOTICE All software, documentation, and related files in this distribution of psfig/tex are Copyright 1993 Trevor J. Darrell Permission is granted for use and non-profit distribution of psfig/tex providing that this notice be clearly maintained, but the right to distribute any portion of psfig/tex for profit or as part of any commercial product is specifically reserved for the author. Thanks to Ned Batchelder, Greg Hager, J. Daniel Smith, Tom Rokicki, Robert Russell, George V. Reilly, Ken McGlothlen, Dr. Baron Grey, Gerhard Tobermann and all others who have contributed code and comments to this project! ================================================================== NEW IN VERSION 1.10 - Support for OzTeX (derived from Baron Grey's OzTeX version of psfig) - New searching path algorithm (from Gerhard Tobermann); looks in multiple directories; looks for file.ps before file.ps.bb... - Many small bug fixes (underscore in draft mode, angle/clip interaction) - Improved documentation and man page ================================================================== SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS Psfig/tex uses \special calls to manipulate the PostScript environment within a document, and include figure files. To use psfig, you must therefore be using a postscript device for your output. This version of psfig/tex works with the unix "dvips" PostScript driver, which is available from labrea.stanford.edu, and with OzTeX. It may also work with the ArborText "dvips" driver, and with the "dvi2ps" written by Tony Li <tli@sargar.usc.edy>; see the "unsupported" directory. ================================================================== INSTALLATION To install psfig, simply copy psfig.sty into a directory on your TeX include path (e.g. /usr/lib/tex/macros). If you are using OzTeX, change the driver line at the top of the psfig.sty file to read \def\setDriver{\OzTeXDriver} instead of \def\setDriver{\DvipsDriver} A users guide and manual page can be found in the "doc" directory. For tips on dealing with Macintosh postscript, see the directory "unsupported/macdemo/README". ================================================================== BUGS If you use the letter style, make sure you include the psfig style first. If you have an old version of dvips, you may need to make a patch to use the compressed figure option, and to handle magnification correctly. The files "unsupported/dospecial.[patch,frag]" contain a patch and a corresponding code fragment for dvips' dospecial.c file. To apply the patch copy dospecial.patch into your dvips directory and run "patch < dospecial.patch", and then recompile. "dospcial.frag" contains the modified portion of the code as it should appear in the patched file. To use magnification with psfig and dvips, you need to change the line /magscale false def in special.pro to /magscale true def in order to have the figures scaled correctly. |
