We want to annotate epsf format graphs with labels, arrow etc.  It seems
that DIsplayPostscript workstations should be able perform postscript
editing (at least adding things over the top of a postscript image)
interactively, but I have not heard of anything that does.  

A poor second choice would be a program that displays a simplified encapsulated
image of the postscript image, and lets you annotate relative to that.  I
believe that this is what some of the high-end PC/Mac publishing programs do.
Is this correct?  Are there PC/MAC programs that let one view and annotate
an EPSF image?

I, too, would be interested in the outcome !!  For publications
involving EEG research, many graphs and annotations are often
required.  In the past, I've written code which produces graphs
in HP-GL format and imported them into PageMaker -- for some reason
I've found less joy with EPSF files :-(

PageMaker was then used to generate arrows, labels, etc.  I've looked
at high-end drawing packages too (e.g. Corel Draw) mainly with the
thought in mind of eliminating the intermediate (HP-GL generation) step
but without much luck.  I am almost resigned to writing my own package,
NOT the sort of thing you toss off before morning tea one day, just for
light entertainment !!

Cheers,
Denis
