Surely someone out there has created quality graphs on a SUN workstation and imported them into Framemaker. Can anyone tell me what software you are using. In the past I have used LOTUS to do some graphing on a PS/2 and then I would import the graphics file into WordPerfect. I even took a step further and created a postscript file in WordPerfect but it seem slike Framemaker only accepts EPSI files. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm................... Please don't suggest TROFF and GRAPH on most UNIX systems. Those are pathetically inadequate. Thanks for any help you can offer. Paul Landsberg paws@vlsi.columbia.edu

Of course any portion of a sunview screen can be captured this way. This is with Framemaker 2.0. It is not available under Framemaker 1.3. >In the past I have used LOTUS to do some graphing on a PS/2 and then >I would import the graphics file into WordPerfect.

Well any postscript can be imported into Framemaker using a Postscript TextRect. However, the only way you can get WYSIWYG drawings is to use EPSI. The normal postscript TextRect will only show up on the printer. >Please don't suggest TROFF and GRAPH on most UNIX systems. Those are >pathetically inadequate. >Thanks for any help you can offer.

For 20/20 you simply need to run the following script on the PS file: #!/bin/csh sed "s/PS-Adobe-1.0/PS-Adobe-2.0 EPSF-1.2/" |\ sed "s/^8.500000 inch 0 translate/%EPSF 8.500000 inch 0 translate/" |\ sed "s/^90 rotate/%EPSF 90 rotate/" For Mathematica you just need to edit the BoundingBox line to give you the right stuff. I.e. print the page, measure the location, convert to points, and edit the PostScript. This is pretty messy but I love 3D surface plots.... Of course, in neither situation do you actually see the graph on the screen. You only see it when it prints out. Not the best solution, but if you have to do this kind of thing it will suffice until document prep and graphics packages get their act together under UNIX. (Yes, I know Interleaf has some plotting facilities but I've not had an opportunity to try them... yet.) craig *** The interests and opinions expressed are my own and do not *** necessarily reflect those of my employer. ----------------- Craig F.
