The psfig/ and psbox packages can be used to include chunks of PostScript directly into a document. For further information about psfig/, type man psfig to see the manual page. The printed users' guide shows you how to obtain more varied results.
The usual previewing programs (xdvi, etc.) will not
include the output of \
psfig
command in
their images: a blank space will appear instead.
To preview such .dvi files and see the PostScript pictures, you
should use dvi2ps mythesis.dvi to obtain a PostScript version of
the file (called mythesis.dvi
which then can be viewed on the screen directly with the
command
ghostview mythesis.ps.
To use psfig
, alter your
\usepackage
command to include psfig
; e.g.
\usepackage{epsfig}Then type
\psfig{figure=
filename.ps}
inside your document to include a PostScript file called
filename.ps.
The complete command sequence to include the picture is:
\begin{figure} \centerline{\psfig{figure=eye.ps}} \caption{Eye.} \end{figure}
