[comp.text] Framemaker 2.0 PostScript in LaTeX

jch@sppy00.UUCP (HANDLEY JOHN C) (06/07/90)

  I had some success in getting a Framemaker 2.0
  PostScript figure into LaTeX using
  ArborTex's dvips by doing the
  following:
   1) commenting out the showpage command in /FMENDPAGE
   2) commenting out the  xscale yscale stuff in /FMBEGINPAGE
      and putting my own scaling factors in.
   3) putting translate parameters in once I knew
      where LaTeX wanted to put the figure on the page.
   4) changed "1 1  612 792 0 1 2 FMDOCUMENT" to
      "1 1  360 360 0 1 2 FMDOCUMENT"
      since I had a 5 inch by 5 inch figure.
   5) changed "0 0 612 792 C" to "0 0 612 648 C"
      The C function appears to clip.  I simply
      adjusted on the the parameters so that it didn't
      chop out anything visible on the page.
  
 I'm sure some more rational and patient person can
 figure out how to do it right and consistently.

 Also, the X/NeWS tool pageview complains about these
 Framemaker PostScript files but is able to display them.

 Shame on Frame!
