[comp.text.tex] Importing PostScript output of GemDraw into LaTeX.

yoon@aludra.usc.edu (Dae-Kyun Yoon) (06/07/90)

I am trying to import postscript output of GemDraw which is running on
my IBM-PC into my LaTeX document. I get postscript output by selecting
Apple Laser Write Plus on COM1 (actually there is none on COM1), and
by redirecting the output to a file.
After I get postscript output, I calculate exact BoundingBox and
correct the BoundingBox created by GemDraw. Then I use "psfig" to
include postscript file in my LaTeX document. 

Upon completing a test document I tried to print out the final output
filtered by "dvi2ps" to LPS-40 print server, but got only a few pages
which are suposed to appear after the figure. (imported postscript file).

When I tried to print the figure only (by sending GemDraw Output
directly to LPS-40), I got the output as I expected.

As I could get the correct output with FrameMaker 1.3 by applying
the same procedure as described above, I thought that it would work
with GemDraw, too.

Did anybody have any experience with GemDraw to prepare figure for
LaTeX document ?  I think if there is a way to convert postscript
output to encapsulated postscript format, my problem might be solved.
I also heard that the LaTeX ("psfig") complains about the output of
Frame Maker 2.0.

Please e-mail me or post any comments and information. If there are enough
interests I will post a summary.

Thanks in advance..
