A brand-spankin' new version of PSfrag, version 3.04, for LaTeX2e can be found at CTAN sites in the directory macros/latex/contrib/supported/psfrag. PSfrag 3.04 fixes some bugs discovered in PSfrag 3.03. What is PSfrag? --------------- Many drawing and graphing packages produce output in the Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) format, but few can easily produce the equations and other scientific text of which LaTeX is capable. On the other hand, many LaTeX-based drawing packages are not as expressive or easy-to-use as the many advanced drawing packages that produce EPS output. PSfrag provides the best of both worlds by allowing the user to precisely overlay Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) files with arbitrary LaTeX constructions. In order to accomplish this, the user places a simple text ``tag'' in the graphics file, as a ``position marker'' of sorts. Then, using simple LaTeX commands, the user instructs PSfrag to remove that tag from the figure, and replace it with a properly sized, aligned, and rotated LaTeX equation. The full documentation for PSfrag found in the release contains examples and usage instructions. To use PSfrag... ---------------- ...you will need: * LaTeX2e and the "graphics" package. (You can use the old epsf.sty macros with PSfrag, but you still need the graphics package.) Please make sure to get the newest versions of these packages from CTAN before submitting bug reports. * If you plan to use PSfrag with the Seminar package, make sure you get the 10/97 release of this package. * Any DVI-to-PostScript program that is well-supported by the "graphics" package. This author uses Tom Rokicki's "dvips"; I recommend it. PSfrag has also been verified for DVIPSone from Y&Y (using Level 2 PostScript printers). Bugs? What Bugs? ---------------- PSfrag 3.04 is bug-free. Of course, we're kidding. That's what we said about PSfrag 3.0, in fact, and look where it got us. If you have problems, bug reports, or improvement suggestions, please send them to the PSfrag maintainer's mailing list, psfrag@rascals.stanford.edu Please supply an example .tex file and .eps figure to demonstrate the behavior you wish to have corrected or improved. This is a majordomo mailing list; feel free to join if you would like to actively participate in PSfrag development. Thanks for using PSfrag!
