[comp.text.tex] Need Help with images

fuller@kadsma.kodak.COM (Bill Fuller) (11/08/90)

Hi,

	I am a novice to the TeX world, so bare with me.  I have 
been experimenting with LaTeX and psfig.  Rather nice.  However, I am 
having a hard time with some of the images I want to put into my
documents.  Usually the scenario is something like I will have
something up on my X screen.  I will use xwd to dump it to a bitmap
format.  Then using xpr, I will convert the bitmap to a postscript 
document and then suck it into the latex file with psfig.  Unfortunately,
many times, I do not want all of the image that is dumped with the 
xwd command.  Are there any visual tools to do cut/paste and/or
modifications to bitmap or postscript images?  Also, Is there a way to 
generate scalable text in xfig?

		Any help would be greatly appreciated.
