ps2frag(1)		     General Commands Manual		      ps2frag(1)

NAME
     ps2frag - obsolete shell script for the PSfrag system.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
     The  new  PSfrag  system no longer requires the ps2frag script; instead, it
     handles the processing entirely within TeX/LaTeX and DVIPS.  I'm  sure  you
     will agree that never needing to run ps2frag again is a nice convenience!

     However,  there are two significant differences in the way this new version
     of PSfrag works. Please make yourself aware of them:

     1) XDvi is no longer able	to  determine  where  your  PSfrag  replacements
     should  go,  so  instead it lines them up in a vertical list to the left of
     the figure. This allows you to confirm that they have  been  typeset  prop-
     erly, at least. However, to confirm that PSfrag positions your replacements
     properly,	you will have to view the PostScript version of your file with a
     viewer like GhostView, or print it out.  This seems to be the  only  disad-
     vantage to the elimination of the pre-processing step.

     2)  If  you  embed '\tex' commands inside your figures, you now need to ex-
     plicitly _tell_ PSfrag to process these commands. To do so,  use  \usepack-
     age[scanall]{psfrag}  instead  of	\usepackage{psfrag}  at the beginning of
     your LaTeX file.

     If you only use '\tex' commands in a small number of figures, then  a  more
     efficient might be to turn on '\tex'-scanning only for those figures. To do
     that, add the command '\psfragscanon' immediately before each relevant \in-
     cludegraphics or \epsfbox command.

NOTES
     See the PSfrag documentation for further information.
