[l2h] Question on psfrag

[Stefan Schagerberg]

I used the additions:
psfragstar # {} # [] # [] # [] # [] # {}
psfrag # {} # [] # [] # [] # [] # {}
psfragscanon
psfragscanoff

since \psfrag takes 4 optonal positioning arguments:
\psfrag{tag}[<posn>][<psposn>][<scale>][<rot>]{replacement}

The last two lines were added to support embedded PSfrag replacements.

Why add those lines in graphics.perl and graphicx.perl also? It works
for me just adding them in psfrag.perl.

Comment. When using psfrag I guess it's sometimes a good idea to use the
option -noreuse since normally psfrag replacements only remain in effect
in the surrounding environment. If images are reused the following will
only give two identical figures since the first image is reused.

\begin{figure}[!h]
    \psfrag{tag}[cc][cc]{centered}
    \includegraphics{psfragtest.eps}
\end{figure}

\begin{figure}[!h]
    \psfrag{tag}[cc][cc][1][45]{centered and slanted}
    \includegraphics{psfragtest.eps}
\end{figure}

The cause of this is that I used different replacements on the SAME
eps-file causing the reuse.

Ps. I apoloqize for posting my original question twice. Since I use a
different mail account than the one registered to the mailing list I
first thought it had bounced. Ds.
