FIG2PS2TEX(1)		     General Commands Manual		   FIG2PS2TEX(1)

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}

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