Including illustrations generated by troff (i.e. pic, graf, ideal, ...)
in TeX documents is straight-forward. The software below and the procedure
described here assume TranScript 2.0.
0) unpack the shar file below and copy 'extract' somewhere on your path, and
psditTeX.ps to where your PostScript files are kept (/usr/lib/tex/ps, say)
1) generate the illustration using
psroff -t >file.all
2) remove the definition part at the beginning of the file.
(there is no need to download the definitions once per illustration)
extract file.all >file.ps
3) Assuming foo.tex contains the \special{psfile=file.ps} command
and has been TeXed/LaTeXed as usual,
dvi2ps -i $TranScript/psdit.pro -i /usr/lib/tex/ps/psditTeX.ps file
will do it all. $TranScript is the directory where the TranScript
software lives. 'psditTeX.ps' redefines things so that coordinates
come out o.k. and that no spurious page breaks occur.
Notes: Read the BUGS section of the psroff man page, or else your
pic output will come out funny. Also, I have attempted to correct
for troff's default margins of 1" -- you can use the hoffset parameter
to \special to fix that if that is wrong for you. See comment in code
for a permanent fix, should you wish one.
Hope this helps.
