Hi TeXers,
I do not have PicTeX so that I cannot evaluate its capabilities. However,
I would like to say a few words how I deal with pictures.
I use LaTeX which has its not very friendly picture environment. To make
pictures, I combine it with METAFONT, which is quite simple. There may be
some problems with large pictures but it may be handled. I had no problems
with simple graphs of size 10cm (4in). Up to now I have not needed to
typeset diagrams but for this I woud preferably use the XYpic package. (I am
not sure about the correct name and spelling of the author but I hope it's
Kristoffer Hogsbro Rose.)
