Re: using Xfig with LaTeX

Indeed, I misunderstood your question. But fig2dev should work fine. I tried using mpage -2 on my dissertation and also got screwy results with eps written by xfig; but everything worked fine with psnup: psnup -2 dissertation.ps d2.ps ap --

thank you all for your responses. considering that every single email i received suggested to export .eps from Xfig and then to use \epsfig, i must have not made myself clear enough... (a) i need a batch method to convert. but anyway, fig2dev is what's used by Xfig anyway, which is what i have bee

Re: using Xfig with LaTeX

Others have already suggested it, but I'll echo: - Export from xfig to .eps; then: \begin{figure}[htbp] \resizebox{\textwidth}{!} {\includegraphics{pathmodel_idea.eps}} \caption{Conceptual model of civic and political participation} \index{participation!political} \label{fig:intromodel} \end{f

Re: using xfig + latex

Because I'm Polish, I very offen face the problem of using "nonstandard" characters in Xfig figures (I hope that one day Xfig will support Unicode and then all Polish characters as well as other national characters will be standard...). Usually I use three methods: 1) Enter the text using the late
