Hi, One potential problem with of incorporating external graphics images into TeX/LaTeX is that the labels and other text are set in different fonts. In TUGBoat 13(3) (Proceedings 1992) p330, Neil Weiss describes a procedure for incorporating graphics in TeX documents with TeX formatted labels. Basically, he uses a system called Mathematical Graphics, which exports graphics images in two files, a encapsulated ps file with the graphics and an ascii file with the labels plus coordinates. The latter can then be set by TeX, while the former is passed through TeX as a special. In principle, it should be possible to do a similar trick with any encapsulated ps file, but filtering out the text and setting it separately. For example, I am interested in the incorporating images generated by Mathematica and Adobe Illustrator. Does anybody know of such a filter?? +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Michael Carter m.carter at csc.canterbury.ac.nz Department of Economics voice: + 64 3 364 2524 University of Canterbury fax: + 64 3 364 2635 Private Bag 4800 Christchurch NEW ZEALAND
