%emTeX supports .PCX special. [see dvidvr.doc for details]. Here is 
%an example where dvitrans.2 is a graphic file.

%This is a LaTeX file:
\documentstyle{article}
\begin{document}
\begin{center}
\begin{picture}(21,23)
\put(0,23){\special{em:graph dvitrans.2}}
\end{picture}
\end{center}
\end{document}

I hope this answers the question. The questions I would like to ask is

1) Is there a way to rotate or scale the picture within TeX? Or one
has to do it before putting the picture to a TeX file? Is the same thing
true for .ps file?

2) How to convert the .PCX or .BMP file to .ps file?

Thanks.
