[alt.sources.wanted] looking for anything -> PiCTeX

jdm5548@diamond.tamu.edu (James Darrell McCauley) (02/05/91)

I want to be able to print a TeX document on several different printers,
including a xerox.  It will have a lot of graphics.  I usually use
psfig to include PostScript figures, but PiCTeX now seems to be the 
most generic way to go. Now I need other methods of drawing pictures or
ways to convert pictures to PiCTeX.

I'm looking for ways to make this work without learning PiCTeX - I'm
looking for filters to convert any kind of graphic to PiCTeX code.

I'm familiar with (x)fig and the corresponding filter fig2dev, but
xfig is a little cumbersome to use.  If anyone has any suggestions
concerning filters or alternative drawing programs, I'd like to hear 
them.  If response is good, I'll summarize to comp.text.tex.

Thanks,
Darrell

PS: The dvi drivers that I'll be using are dvips, dvi2ps, texrox, and
possibly dvi2ln03.
