We would like to capture screen images in TeX documents using scrdump (or icut) followed by tobw followed by topost, followed by \special's in TeX. Even using the option of topost which uses just 1 bit, the images are rather large and take a while to download. Has anyone modified topost (or similar) so that images are run-length encoded and then decoded by the printer? If so, can you tell me about it? (We are using an Apple LaserWriter II NTX and a modification to Beebe's dvialw driver.) Any info would be appreciated. Jim Diamond zsd@pig.drea.dnd.ca

I would also like to paste images into tex documents. Have you been able to put images in TeX ? How do you do it ? Do you know if there is any tex support for the seiko color printer ? dan. +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | karron@nyu.edu Dan Karron | | . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

The generally accepted way to put images (or other output-device-specific stuff) in LaTeX documents is to use \special. It's low-level, and implies knowledge of the output filter you're using -- your document will be less "portable". Check the dvi2whatever filter you're using and see what it supports by way of \specials. For PostScript, there exist a set of macros called psfig (see your friendly neighbourhood TeX archive site -- sun.soe.clarkson.edu? The master copy used to be on linc.cis.upenn.edu) that allow inclusion of encapsulated PostScript. For example, with X11, you can do stuff like xwd | xpr -device ps > file.ps and then include file.ps. (R4 xpr will work, earlier versions will not) Most modern versions of dvi*ps provide the \specials that psfig needs. pgmtops (from the pbmplus image conversion utilities) will also generate PostScript that you can include with psfig.
