[texhax] Re: How to add math text to existing ps figure file

[Kelle Cruz]

Hi,

I was intrigued by the two recent posts on how to annonate postscript 
figures using various LaTeX packages.  I usually use Adobe Illustrator to 
perfect my postscript figures that were originally created by other 
programs (e.g., Fortran, IDL).

Does anyone have any opinions regarding the pros and cons of using these 
two methods for creating documents destined for academic journals?

Based on my limited experience, I would imagine that publishers would 
prefer that figures be self-contained into one EPS file.  If that is 
indeed the case, then I would suggest to Bill that he try to get his hands 
on a copy of Adobe Illustrator.
