- Hi TeXers,
- I do not have PicTeX so that I cannot evaluate its capabilities. However,
- I would like to say a few words how I deal with pictures.
- I use LaTeX which has its not very friendly picture environment. To make
- pictures, I combine it with METAFONT, which is quite simple. There may be
- some problems with large pictures but it may be handled. I had no problems
- with simple graphs of size 10cm (4in). Up to now I have not needed to
- typeset diagrams but for this I woud preferably use the XYpic package. (I am
- not sure about the correct name and spelling of the author but I hope it's
- Kristoffer Hogsbro Rose.)
