I'm using Trevor Darrell's psfig.tex to include postscript pictures
into my LaTeX figures. I'm then using Rokicki's dvips to convert the
dvi file to postscript for printing. Everything works fine in single
column style, and in twocolumn style, the pictures that are in figure
environments come out fine, but the ones that are in figure*'s
disappear.
The code I use looks something like this:
\input{psfig}
\documentstyle[twocolumn]{article}
...
\begin{figure*}
\centerline{\psfig{figure=starfigure.ps,width=\textwidth}}
\vspace{-.05\textwidth}
\caption{A double column figure}
\label{fig:star}
\end{figure*}
When I run latex, it tells me:
psfig: searching for starfigure.ps for bounding box
psfig: including starfigure.ps
When I run dvips, it reports the names of all the other pictures inside
the brackets of the page they appear on (e.g., [4[regfigure.ps]]), but
the pictures that are in figure*'s simply don't appear. In the text,
the references to these figures are correct and in order. However,
the figures themselves are just not there.
Am I doing something stupid here?
