Thanks for the reply Sean. What I actually need is to put some formula (rather than text, which most drawing package can do) on other graphics/diagram. But since I haven't came up with anything, probably I will just make a formula with KFormula, draw stuff with Dia, export both as JPEG or something, and combine them using Gimp or something like that. Not very efficient.... but... oh well. > Another program to take a look at is the LyX editor. > It will let you combine sophisticated formulas and graphics within a a > single document. I know about Lyx, in fact I use it all the time and I was asking this same question before in Lyx mailing list. Lyx can make beautiful formula, but it treats graphic as different object, and there is no way you can put formula on a graphic, at least not easily. Apparently there is something call PSTrick that will do it with latex or something like that, if I am not mistaken, but I don't know enough latex yet to be able to use it's drawing capabilities. Maybe it's time to learn. Thanks again. RDB -- Reuben D.
