There are two methods:
- including "absolute" PostScript. PostScript that knows where
it goes on the page, and decides its own scaling.
All versions of ditroff support this one way or another.
CAT troff does as well when coupled with psroff. This is
most often supported by some permutation of \! or \X'...'
directives.
- including PostScript, automatically scaling and placing the
image. This requires that the PostScript be EPS (so that the
size and origin of the image is accessible). Groff and
DWB 3.3 have facilities for including EPS files and automatically
placing/scaling them on the page, including leaving space in the
troff text for the image. See if your documentation includes
remarks about "PSPIC", "PS" or other similar macros.
Psfig (comp.sources.unix archives) is a troff preprocessor which
will permit this sort of automatic placement/scaling with an
older version of ditroff (such as DWB 2.1) as long as the backend
printer driver understands it. Psroff 3.0 and Adobe Transcript
support psfig with ditroff, but only Psroff 3.0 will support
psfig with CAT troff.
Caution: many PC and MAC graphics packages generate sloppy PostScript which
cannot be gracefully included in other documents.
