SHORT DESCRIPTION
=================
(This is a copy of the LaTeX code of the documentation's abstract.)
This package provides a macro (|\includecombinedgraphics|) for the
inclusion of combined EPS/\LaTeX{} and PDF/\LaTeX{} graphics (an export
format of Gnuplot, Xfig, and maybe other programs). Instead of including
the graphics with a simple |\input|, the |\includecombinedgraphics| macro
has some benefits:
\begin{itemize}
\item changing the font and color of the text of the \LaTeX{} parts
\item rescaling the graphics without affecting the font of the \LaTeX{}
parts
\item automatic inclusion of the vector graphics parts, as far as \LaTeX{}
parts do not do it (e.\,g., for files exported from Gnuplot before
version 4.2 or Xfig)
\item changing the inclusion order of \LaTeX{} and vector graphics
parts (e.\,g., Gnuplot 4.4 exports files in a way that the vector
graphics part overlays the \LaTeX{} part, which means that text may be
hidden under shaded areas)
\item rescaling and rotating of complete graphics (similar to
|\includegraphics| from \textsf{graphicx} package)
\item scaling the vector graphics part (without affecting the font) to
a defined width or height of the graphics, which might, e.g., be of
importance for graphics that are intended for publication in a journal
requesting a certain size of graphics
\end{itemize}
A test PDF file with extensively commented examples is shipped with this
package and a BASH script (\texttt{texpic2epspdf.sh}) to convert combined
EPS/\LaTeX{} and PDF/\LaTeX{} graphics to EPS or PDF files with text part
included.
See `combinedgraphics.pdf' for detailed information on usage.
BUILDING
========
If you do not want to use any pre-build `combinedgraphics.sty' and
`combinedgraphics.pdf' files, you will have to choose one of the following
two ways for building them. Otherwise you can skip this section.
1) Building with make
---------------------
Running `make' will create the LaTeX package, the documentation and the test
file:
$ make
2) Building manually
--------------------
a) Generation of package (.sty file):
Run `combinedgraphics.ins' through LaTeX:
$ pdflatex -interaction=nonstopmode combinedgraphics.ins
b) Generation of documentation:
Run `combinedgraphics.dtx' through LaTeX:
$ pdflatex -interaction=nonstopmode combinedgraphics.dtx
Then create the index and change history:
$ makeindex -s gind.ist -o combinedgraphics.ind combinedgraphics.idx
$ makeindex -s gglo.ist -o combinedgraphics.gls combinedgraphics.glo
Finally, run `combinedgraphics.dtx' three time through LaTeX:
$ pdflatex -interaction=nonstopmode combinedgraphics.dtx
$ pdflatex -interaction=nonstopmode combinedgraphics.dtx
$ pdflatex -interaction=nonstopmode combinedgraphics.dtx
Optionally you can compile the test file:
$ pdflatex -interaction=nonstopmode combinedgraphics_test.tex
$ pdflatex -interaction=nonstopmode combinedgraphics_text.tex
$ pdflatex -interaction=nonstopmode combinedgraphics_text.tex
INSTALLATION
============
1) Installing with make
-----------------------
To install the package into a TDS (= TeX directory structure; typically its base
directory is named `texmf' or something similar), run the following command:
$ make DESTDIR=<your TDS> install
Note: `$(DESTDIR)' defaults to `$(HOME)/.texmf'.
2) Installing manually
----------------------
In principle, you will only habe to copy the file `ionumbers.sty' into a
directory, where LaTeX can find it. If you copy it into a TDS (TeX directory
structure), you will most probably have to run the following command afterwards:
$ mktexlsr <your TDS>
