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.
