See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge 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.
