[comp.text.tex] How to incorporate Quattro Pro graphs in TeX paper?

rstanton@portia.Stanford.EDU (Richard Stanton) (11/30/90)

I'm getting a little tired of cutting and pasting every time I revise my
paper (written using TeX) to put in all the graphs, which I generate    
separately using Borland's Quattro Pro (1.0).                           
                                                                        
Is there some way of getting the graphs embedded automatically into     
the text? I've read something about the \special command, but have never
actually used it. I imagine (I haven't yet tried it) that by redirecting
the printer output to a file I could get the graph as a Postscript file.
I run TeX (actually LaTeX) on a VAX, and have access to a Postscript    
printer (plus DVI converter).                                           

If anyone has done this or something similar before, I'd appreciate any
suggestions.

Thanks
