I have described a system for merging PostScript figures into documents prepared under LATEX and TEX. The author has a great deal of flexibility in specifying how the figures are to be sized, and in particular can specify that a figure be included at its natural or design size, or some scale multiple thereof. The figure always fits the space left in the flow of text, without any need for the user to copy sizes from the program used to generate the figure into the document source text, and changes to the figure which alter its size are reflected in the document automatically when it is next typeset.
These facilities are in use at SPAR, and are available immediately for distribution to other Schlumberger sites. Also available are some programs for converting digitised photographs, screendumps, and other images into EPS style PostScript programs with suitable bounding box comments.
