I exported a drawing object to EPS and then tried to import it into a TeX document. While the file does import, the size is really hosed. In the past, I have edited the EPS Bounding Box and put in a 0.5 0.5 scale after all of the setup section and experienced no trouble. In this case, TeX may have computed the spacing correctly, but the PostScript that came up in TeXView was probably twice as large as it should have been. I went and checked the PostScript in Preview and it looked as though it were scaled by 0.5. I am not sure what's going on. It could be something with the change to 3.0. I recall that the epsffile for 2.1 was messed up compared to the 1.0 version. I don't have a solution, but I will test the Appsoft draw import ability in to the 2.0 version of TeX soon and let people know. -- Bill Murphy | The Call of the Norwegian Whipperwil: | "I tink so, I tink so, probably." murphy@physics.purdue.edu | "I dunno, I dunno, who can tell."
