Hello,
Several years ago, I found it convenient to do something like this:
Unprotect[TeXForm];
graphicsCount=0;
TeXForm[p_Graphics]:=Module[{epsFileName},
graphicsCount++;
epsFileName="graphics"<>ToString[graphicsCount++]<>".eps";
Export[epsFileName,p,"EPS"];
"\includegraphics{"<>epsFileName<>"}"
];
Protect[TeXForm];
I.e., redefine the way TeXForm deals with Graphics objects. You would need
similar definitions for any other types of Graphics that you need (e.g.
Graphics3D).
Then
TeXForm[Plot[Sin[x],{x,0,1}]]
creates an EPS file and returns a fragment of LaTeX code that you can paste
into your document.
You might want to improve upon it by adding the options of \includegraphics
as options of TeXForm, creating the whole figure environment, etc.
Another way is to use File/Save As Special ../TeX to get a TeX form of a
whole notebook and then pick out the EPS files and other material that you
need.
