Graphics code for non-LaTeX users.
==================================
This directory provides a small wrapper file such that users of
formats based on plain TeX may make use of some of the parts of the
standard LaTeX distribution.
These files are *NOT* supported by the LaTeX3 project, and any
problems with them should *NOT* be reported to the LaTeX bugs system.
Currently problems may be reported to me, carlisle@ma.man.ac.uk
although as I only ever use LaTeX for documents, these files have not
been extensively tested. If some plain TeX user wants to `adopt' them
and take over their support then they are welcome to it:-)

00readme.txt This file.
exmplpic.tex
A plain TeX document using LaTeX' `picture mode': a portable
means of producing simple diagrams.
exmplgrf.tex
A plain TeX document using the LaTeX graphicx package, for
rotating and scaling text, and include PostScript and other
graphics formats. (This will include the file a.ps available
in the LaTeX graphics distribution.)
exmplcol.tex
A plain TeX document using the LaTeX color package, for
producing colour.
exmplpfg.tex
A plain TeX document using the contributed LaTeX psfrag package,
for including PostScript documents, while replacing certain text
strings with TeX typeset replacements. This uses the example.eps
figure from the psfrag 3.0 distribution.
miniltx.tex
A small `miniLaTeX' that defines fakes or otherwise hacks
sufficient bits of LaTeX internals so that the packages can load.
picture.tex
The user interface to the picture environment.
=picture.
Normally a plain-style syntax is used, viz
(100,100)
....
However if the command is issued, then a LaTeX
syntax of
;''
May be used. this may be prefered if the picture is being copied
from a LaTeX document, or if it is produced automatically from
a drawing tool such as xfig or texcad.
autopict.ins
picture.tex requires the use of the Standard LaTeX file
autopict.sty. To generate this, either run the autoload.ins
install file in the main LaTeX distribution, which will make
autopict.sty along with some other files (not needed here) or
alternatively just obtain obtain ltpictur.dtx and docstrip.tex
from the LaTeX distribution, and TeX the file autopict.ins that
is included in this distribution.
graphicx.tex
The user interface to the graphicx package.
graphicx
See the documentation in grfguide.ps in the LaTeX graphics
distribution.
This file sets the driver to be dvips. If you
use another driver, edit accordingly.
color.tex
The user interface to the color package.
color
See the documentation in grfguide.ps in the LaTeX graphics
distribution.
This file sets the driver to be dvips. If you
use another driver, edit accordingly.

The user interface to the psfrag package.
psfrag
See the documentation in pfgguide.tex in the psfrag distribution,
and the example document pfgexmpl.tex included here.
