Encoding PostScript images in LaTeX

• In your LaTeX file, just after the \documentclass{} declaration at the beginning of the file, include this line:

          \usepackage{epsfig}

• If you want LaTeX to calculate how much space to leave for the figure, and the figure's bounding box appears at the beginning of the file (see `Sizing a PostScript figure for use in LaTeX'), insert this line where you want the figure to appear:

          \epsfig{file=whatever.eps}

  where whatever.eps is the name of the file containing the figure.
• If you would prefer to specify exactly how much space the figure should occupy (or if the figure's bounding box does not appear at the beginning of its file), insert a line like this:

          \epsfig{file=whatever.eps,height=1.5in,width=5in}

  This example would allocate a space 1.5" high by 5" wide; vary the actual dimensions to suit your needs.
