12 ps2frag - obsolete shell script for the PSfrag system.

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

22 However, there are two significant differences in the way
23 this new version of PSfrag works. Please make yourself aware
24 of them:
25
26
27 1) XDvi is no longer able to determine where your PSfrag
28 replacements should go, so instead it lines them up in a
29 vertical list to the left of the figure. This allows you to
30 confirm that they have been typeset properly, at least.
31 However, to confirm that PSfrag __positions__ your
2 perry 32 replacements properly, you will have to view the !PostScript
33 version of your file with a viewer like !GhostView, or print
1 perry 34 it out. This seems to be the only disadvantage to the
35 elimination of the pre-processing step.
36
37
38 2) If you embed 'tex' commands inside your figures, you now
39 need to explicitly _tell_ PSfrag to process these commands.
40 To do so, use usepackage[[scanall]{psfrag} instead of
41 usepackage{psfrag} at the beginning of your LaTeX
42 file.
43
44
45 If you only use 'tex' commands in a small number of figures,
46 then a more efficient might be to turn on 'tex'-scanning
47 only for those figures. To do that, add the command
48 'psfragscanon' immediately before each relevant
49 includegraphics or epsfbox command.
