Below is the LaTex file in which I have inserted a line which creates space
for the figure (LaTex doesn't do it). Furthermore You should try the offset
parameters 'hoffset' and 'voffset' within the '\special{}' command. Latex
has its own translations and scaling, and together with the ones You put in
the Postscript file, the figure might be placed outside the paper. Anyway,
if the firgure is supposed to be in top of the paper, you must place the
picture origo (with the 'vspace') so there is enough room. You must also
run LaTex from the same directory as your foo.ps file. Otherwise declare
the path in the 'special' command.
>--- begin LaTeX code--------

\vspace{y} %% size in y. You have to create Your own figure space.
>\special{psfile=foo.ps hscale=.5 vscale=.5}
>\caption{test caption}
>\label{figure_x}
>\end{figure}
