NAME

       fig2ps2tex - generate a TeX file for including a PostScript file



SYNOPSIS

       fig2ps2tex file



DESCRIPTION

       Fig2ps2tex  generates  a  TeX file for including a PostScript file in a
       TeX document.  This involves calculating  the  bounding  box  from  the
       Postscript document.  The TeX inclusion file is written to stdout.

       There is also Fig2ps2tex.csh for those systems with csh and dc.

       Note  that  the  psfig  macro  package  provides  a  more sophisticated
       approach to including Postscript files in LaTeX docuements.  Fig2ps2tex
       works with plain TeX however.



USAGE

       Assume the Postscript file is called foo.ps .  The command

              % fig2ps2tex foo.ps >foo.tex

       will create the inclusion file with bounding information.  Then include
       this file in your TeX document with the command

              \input{foo}



SEE ALSO

       psfig(1), latex(1), fig2dev(1), transfig(1).
