Inserting images

You can include images in the text using the menu Insert→Image. Currently, TeXmacs recognizes the ps, eps, tif, pdf, pdm, gif, ppm, xpm and fig file formats. Here, gs (i.e. ghostscript) is used to render postscript images. If ghostscript has not yet been installed on your system, you can download this package from

    www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/index.html

Currently, the other file formats are converted into postscript files using the scripts tiff2ps, pdf2ps, pnmtops, giftopnm, ppmtogif, xpmtoppm. If these scripts are not available on your system, please contact your system administrator.

By default, images are displayed at their design size. The following operations are supported on images:

• Clipping the images following a rectangle. The lower left corner of the default image is taken as the origin for specifying a rectangle for clipping.
• Resizing an image. When specifying a new width, but no height at the prompt (or vice versa), the image is resized so as to preserve the aspect ration.
• Magnifying the image. An alternative way to resize an image, by multiplying the width and the height by a constant.

We also included a script to convert pictures, with optional LaTeX formulas in it, into encapsulated postscript. In order to include a LaTeX formula in an xfig picture, we recall you should enter the formula as text, while selecting a LaTeX font and setting the special flag in the text flags.
