# With Xfig, it's possible to let TeX do the formatting of text in # the figure. To switch this on, select "Special flag = ON" in the # "Text Flags" section down in the middle when in "text-insert-mode" # (Or specify this flag in the "Edit" window), and then, to turn the # .fig file into an .eps file, you can use this file TeXfig2eps: # # make -f fig2eps myfile.eps # %.eps: %.fig fig2dev -L pstex $< $*.pstex fig2dev -L pstex_t -p $*.pstex $< $*.pstex_t (echo '\documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty} ';\ echo '\usepackage{graphics,color}\begin{document} ';\ cat $*.pstex_t;\ echo ' \end{document}')>$*.tex latex $*.tex dvips -E -o $@ $*.dvi # #Now I use a simple programme that tries to get the #bounding box right, as dvips ajusts it to the TeX text only. #(see dvips(1)). the bbtest below simply takes the "bb.ps" #file available elsewhere, and feeds it through gs. #bbtest $@
