NAME
       fig2ps2tex - generate a TeX file for including a PostScript file

SYNOPSIS
       fig2ps2tex file

DESCRIPTION
       Fig2ps2tex  generates  a	 TeX  file for including a PostScript file in a TeX document.  This involves calculating the
       bounding box from the Postscript document.  The TeX inclusion file is written to stdout.

       There is also Fig2ps2tex.csh for those systems with csh and dc.

       Note that the psfig macro package provides a more sophisticated approach to including Postscript files in LaTeX docu‐
       ments.  Fig2ps2tex works with plain TeX however.

USAGE
       Assume the Postscript file is called foo.ps .  The command

	      % fig2ps2tex foo.ps >foo.tex

       will create the inclusion file with bounding information.  Then include this file in your TeX document with the	com‐
       mand

	      \input{foo}

SEE ALSO
       psfig(1), latex(1), fig2dev(1), transfig(1).
