- Hello there
-
- I've been having a problem with eps figures generated by xfig and tgif.
- I usually export (or transfig or print) the figures in eps format
- and then use psfig or epsf to incldue them in my LaTeX document.
- I have encountered the following problems:
-
- With XFig
- The eps file doesn;t have a 'drawpage' command at the end, thus
- when I print the ps file obtained using dvips nothing comes out and
- the printer blows up (ie. it doesn't print the remaining of the
- paper). When I include the drawpage command everything works fine.
-
- With Tgif
- The eps file it doesn't also contain the drawpage command, but the
- printer refuses to print the page (and then the remaining of the file)
- regardless if I inlcude drawpage or not.
-
- I should note that I can preview the ps file using ghostview,gspreview
- and pageview under openwin.
-
- Does anybody has any ideas why this is happening.
- Does it have to do with the printer installation and what do I have
- to do to fix this problem.
-
- Thanks in advance
