NAME

       ps2frag - obsolete shell script for the PSfrag system.

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  '	ex'  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 '	ex' commands in a small number of figures, then a more efficient might be to turn on '	ex'-scanning only for those fig-
       ures. To do that, add the command 'psfragscanon' immediately before each relevant includegraphics or epsfbox command.

NOTES

       See the PSfrag documentation for further information.
