Learn how to use the  \xyimport  feature of the  Xy-pic suite of macros
for graphics in TeX and LaTeX.

This will give you much better quality labelling than is achievable in
*any* other way.

See these sites for more information:

http://www.ens-lyon.fr/~krisrose/Xy-pic.html
http://www-math.mpce.mq.edu.au/texdev/xyguide-html/

Alternatively the Xy-pic macros are available from CTAN archives.


All the best,
