[comp.sys.amiga] Figure Generator for TeX??

santerel@grad1.cis.upenn.edu (Walter Santarelli) (08/28/90)

Does anyone know of a program for the AMIGA that will convert drawings
into TeX commands? I need something to generate figures in TeX. There
is such a program available here on our SUN's. I'd appreciate any
help. Thanks.

There is a program out (on a fish disk I believe) called LPE. This is short for
LaTeX Picture Editor. It will let you draw geometric primatives, and then convert
the picture into its appropriate \circles,\puts, \textboxes,\multiputs, etc.
The output code is in LaTeX, not TeX, but if you have the full distribution,
this should present no problem.
Let me know if you can't locate it..I could possibly sent it to you.
