Greetings,
As the title indicates I am trying to include PostScript files into a
LaTeX document using Psfig. Here is a detailed description of what I am
trying to do:
I made a screen dump of a dialog box from a program that I am writing, using
clover-shift-3. This created a MacPaint file. Next, I used SuperPaint to edit
this file and then created a PostScript file by pressing clover-f after
selecting OK in the print dialog box. Next, I printed the figure from
SuperPaint. I then determined the BoundingBox for the fugure using a Points
ruler. After including the bounding box into the PostScript figure, I
included this file into my LaTeX document. Here is how I did this:
:
:
:
\input psfig.tex
\begin{document}
:
:
:
:
\begin{figure}
\psfig{figure=FigPrint1.ps}
\end{figure}
\end{document}
When I tex this document it does not complain and includes the PostScript
figure. I should mention that presently the figure I am including is the last
thing in the document, but later I will be including figures throughout my
document. When I try to print this figure on an Apple LaserWriter printer,
I notice that the printer is processing my document but it prints nothing.
The printer flushes the whole document. I even tried to include the
mac prolog file by exchanging the \psfig{figure=FigPrint1.ps} with
\psfig{figure=FigPrint1.ps,prolog=mac.pro} in my LaTeX document. But it still
did not work and did the same thing (i.e. printed nothing).
Does anyone out there know what I am doing wrong and do I correct this??? Or
how should I include various screen dumps into a LaTeX document.
Please reply by e-mail. Thanks in advace to all those who reply.
