-
- SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
-
- Psfig/tex uses \special calls to manipulate the PostScript environment
- within a document, and include figure files. To use psfig, you must
- therefore be using a postscript device for your output. This version
- of psfig/tex works with the unix "dvips" PostScript driver, which is
- available from labrea.stanford.edu, and with OzTeX.
-
- It may also work with the ArborText "dvips" driver, and with the
- "dvi2ps" written by Tony Li <tli@sargar.usc.edy>; see the
- "unsupported" directory.
-
- ==================================================================
-
- INSTALLATION
-
- To install psfig, simply copy psfig.sty into a directory on your TeX
- include path (e.g. /usr/lib/tex/macros).
-
- If you are using OzTeX, change the driver line at the top of
- the psfig.sty file to read
- \def\setDriver{\OzTeXDriver}
- instead of
- \def\setDriver{\DvipsDriver}
-
-
- A users guide and manual page can be found in the "doc" directory.
-
- For tips on dealing with Macintosh postscript, see the directory
- "unsupported/macdemo/README".
-
- ==================================================================
-
- BUGS
-
- If you use the letter style, make sure you include the psfig style
- first.
-
- If you have an old version of dvips, you may need to make a patch to
- use the compressed figure option, and to handle magnification
- correctly. The files "unsupported/dospecial.[patch,frag]" contain a
- patch and a corresponding code fragment for dvips' dospecial.c file.
- To apply the patch copy dospecial.patch into your dvips directory and
- run "patch < dospecial.patch", and then recompile. "dospcial.frag"
- contains the modified portion of the code as it should appear in the
- patched file. To use magnification with psfig and dvips, you need to
- change the line
- /magscale false def
- in special.pro to
- /magscale true def
- in order to have the figures scaled correctly.
