Other Tricks

You can also shrink and scale your PostScript figures. For example, if you wanted to include your figure shrunk by half in each direction, you would use:

 \PSbox{/mit/username/filename.PS hscale=50 vscale=50}{1in}{1in}

(with the dimensions being the size of the figure once it has been scaled to half size in each direction). Note that it's possible to shrink your figure in one direction and not the other; in most cases, though, you want to scale it equally both horizontally and vertically. The scale factors are percentages, which is why the example uses 50 for one half.

The ps2epsi program, found in the gnu locker, can be used to convert PostScript files into Encapsulated PostScript.
