- This is probably a FAQ, but I couldn't find it in the tex-faq.
-
- What are the tpic specials and where are they documented? Are they supported
- by most dvi translators/previewers (dvips and xdvi in particular)? What are
- the advantages/disadvantages to using macro packages like eepic (and/or
- PiCTeX with the tpic extensions) versus direct inclusion of PostScript via
- dvips (assuming that I have a drawing program/graphics package that can generate
- either eepic macros or PostScript)?
-
- Thanks in advance,
- Tony Richardson
