Usually, ggggeeeettttaaaaxxxxffffiiiigggg determines these numbers by scanning the input file. DDDDEEEESSSSCCCCRRRRIIIIPPPPTTTTIIIIOOOONNNN To produce an EPS figure with ApplixGraphics that can be included in LaTeX documents: o Make sure you are using only Type1 fonts. I don't know about TrueType; they may or may not work... o Print into a file; usually ApplixGraphics suggests ~/axhome/1.ps o When printing, use exactly the paper size you need for the figure (e.g., 2x3 inches). Set the margins to zero width. o Call getaxfig as shown above. Standard call: getaxfig 1.ps fig1.eps This tries to extract the width/height from file. To specify the width/height (centimeters by default): getaxfig 2.ps fig2.eps 5 8 getaxfig 2.ps fig2.eps 5in 8in ggggeeeettttaaaaxxxxffffiiiigggg can be retrieved from any CPAN mirror or from ftp://krabat.physik.uni-giessen.de/pub/traxler/ 4/Feb/98 perl 5.004 1
