[comp.text.tex] Scientific graphs in

vanwyk@author.ecn.purdue.edu (Kenric D VanWyk) (03/08/91)

Dear (La)TeXers,

I am having a difficult time incorporating scientific graphs
into my LaTeX document.  I am unsatisfied with the presentation
quality of the unix plotting packages that we have on site.
To date, I have been manually cutting and pasting my Macintosh
graphs into my LaTeX document.

I would like to hear from those who have had success in
implementing *acceptable* graphics into a LaTeX document.  I am
aware that there has been much discussion here lately on drawing
programs, such as xfig.  I am not speaking about drawing
programs.  I am trying to get experimental data onto 2D and 3D
plots with legends, symbols, and *decent* fonts on the axis.
I have tried to work with psfig, but as of yet, I have failed to
obtain the anticipated results. 

I am placing this request here (instead of a graphics group) to
see what success (La)TeX users have had.  Please e-mail me your
success stories.

If there is enough interest, I will post a summary.
