Well, I got one problem in putting graphics into TeX under X window system. I have drown a rectangle in xfig and save the file. The general step is to "fig2tex " the file and it is O.K. The problem comes when I "tex" the converted file. The message is undefined control sequence. I wonder why. The following is the complete messaage: Using TeX2.93, old TeX is in /usr/local/bin (except on shamrock) . This is TeX, C Version 2.93 (no format preloaded) (/test.tex ! Undefined control sequence. l.1 \mbox {\beginpicture ? How to solve this problem? Thanks in advancd. ----------------------------------------------------------------- E-mail:hubert@apple.ucsbuxa.ucsb.edu or 6500chh@ucsbuxa.bitnet

Try including the xfig output in a LaTeX document, as in: % This is myfile.tex \documentstyle{article} \begin{ducument} \input{figure.tex} % where figure.tex is the output of the xfig program \end{document} Then execute the command "latex myfile.tex" Rouben Rostamian Phone: 301 455-2458 Department of Mathematics e-mail: University of Maryland Baltimore County rostamian@umbc.bitnet Baltimore, MD 21228 rostamian@umbc3.umbc.edu
