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.sh for those systems without csh and/or dc (Linux for example).

       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}
