important notice
The new PSfrag system no longer requires the ps2frag script;
instead, it handles the processing entirely within TeX/LaTeX and
DVIPS. I’m sure you will agree that never needing to run ps2frag
again is a nice convenience!
However, there are two significant differences in the way this
new version of PSfrag works. Please make yourself aware of them:
1) XDvi is no longer able to determine where your PSfrag
replacements should go, so instead it lines them up in a vertical
list to the left of the figure. This allows you to confirm that
they have been typeset properly, at least. However, to confirm
that PSfrag positions your replacements properly, you will
have to view the PostScript version of your file with a viewer
like GhostView, or print it out. This seems to be the only
disadvantage to the elimination of the pre-processing step.
2) If you embed ’\tex’ commands inside your figures, you now need
to explicitly _tell_ PSfrag to process these commands. To do so,
use \usepackage[scanall]{psfrag} instead of \usepackage{psfrag}
at the beginning of your LaTeX file.
If you only use ’\tex’ commands in a small number of figures,
then a more efficient might be to turn on ’\tex’-scanning only
for those figures. To do that, add the command ’\psfragscanon’
immediately before each relevant \includegraphics or \epsfbox
command.
