PSBOX 1.31 release: universal figure-inclusion tools+ARCHIVE

#2075

Dear TeXers,

Here comes a new release of PSBOX. On top of previous utilities (
-universal postscript figure inclusion in Plain-, La- or AMS-TeX on
 virtually all machines able to print out PostScript;
-universal figure rescaling and offsetting
-figure annotation by TeX-formatted text
-framing of figures and other boxes
-figure environment for Plain-based macro-packages)
I have added ARCHIVE-like commands that allow for easier multiple file
management and e-mailing. 

By a single command, you can automatically collect ALL the TeX-files
\input'ed and all the figures inserted in a document, archive them in
a single file, and send or ftp it!

Your correspondant will just have to TeX that single file to "de-arc"
it and produce the same document as you! Since all this is JUST PURE
TEX, he is just supposed to have TeX(!) and a way to print out
PostScript(?), no matter the machine and operating system!

No more macro-files missing!
No more typos in transcribing macro- or figure-filenames!

Comes complete, in  5 files:
   psbox.tex (the macros),
   psbsamp.tex (the dox & sample file)
   box.ps (a stupid sample PostScript dawing)
   psbugs.tex  (a sample bug report file)
   psboxOK.tex {an anti-bug report file: please send if satisfied!)
ALL TOGETHER IN A SINGLE ARCHIVE WAITING FOR YOU TO TEX IT.

SO, WHY DON'T YOU TRY FOR YOURSELF?

Have fun,
Jean.

% A simple way to measure the size of encapsulated postscript figures
%   from inside TeX, and to use it for automatically formatting texts
%   with inserted figures. Works both under Plain TeX-based macros
%   (Phyzzx, Harvmac, Psizzl, ...) and LaTeX environment.
% Provides exactly the same result on any PostScript printer provided
%   the single instruction \psfor... is changed to fit the needs of the
%   particular dvi->ps translator used.
% History:
%   1.31: adds \psforDVIALW(?)
%   1.30: adds \splitfile & \joinfiles for multi-file management
%   1.24: fix error handling & add \psonlyboxes
%   1.23: adds \putsp@ce for OzTeX fix
%   1.22: makes \drawingBox \global for use in Phyzzx
%   1.21: accepts %%BoundingBox: (atend)
%   1.20: tries to add \psfordvitps for the TeXPS package.
%   1.10: adds \psforoztex, error handling...

\section{Introduction}
\TeX{} and PostScript have become a de-facto standard for
producing scientific papers and figures. The reason for this perhaps
lies in the success of electronic mail within the scientific
community as both standards produce text files that easily travel along
e-mail and yet produce machine-independent result when printed from any
computer on any PostScript printer\footnote{*}{You might think of
sending directly the PostScript description of the whole document, but
this would mean sending 15 times more caracters and moreover
forbidding your correspondant to make any correction to the
manuscript.}. Recently, these standards have been further sanctified in
the Physics community with the advent of electronic ``Bulletin Boards"
which spread like crazy and whose very existence precisely relies on
such standards.

In this rapidly evolving and modernish landscape, the
inclusion of figures into papers still remains a dark spot: it is
relatively uneasy and, worse, essentially non-universal. The purpose of
{\tt psbox} macros is to try and correct for this.
This file is meant as both an example (read it) and a documentation
(\TeX{} it).

To start with, let us show how to use the macros for including
Encapsulated PostScript graphics-File (EPSF) into any \TeX\ document
(Plain \TeX, Plain-based macros like Harvmac, Phyzzx,... or \LaTeX).
To get this to work, you first need to produce an EPSF. This
is different from an usual PostScript file. (For instance, with CERN's
package PAW/HIGZ, the output device specified in the metafile is -111
for simple postscript and -113 for EPSF). You can always check whether
you succeeded by looking at your EPSF: it should start with {\tt\%!}
and somewhere contain a line like:
$$
\hbox{\tt\%\%BoundingBox: llx lly urx ury\hfil}
$$
where llx \& lly (urx \& ury) are the positive integer coordinates of
the lower-left (upper-right) corners of the smallest rectangle enclosing
your graphics. If all else fails, you still have the opportunity of
adding such a line by hand: you might then want to know that
coordinates are given in ``Big Points'' (1in=72bp)%
\footnote{**}{
Not to be confused with ``Points'' (1in=72.27pt): inventing units
related by such crazy factors as 72.27/72 definitely is a perverse and
deeply immoral sport!}
from the bottom left
corner of the printed page. You can always visualize the corresponding
{\tt\%\%BoundingBox} using {\tt\\frameit} (see below). Once you have a
good EPSF, you should save it in the same directory as the \TeX{}
file in which you want to insert your graphics.

Now you're ready for inserting. Here is how to do:
\item{1)} in the
  beginning of your \TeX{} file, type {\tt\\input psbox.tex}
  in order to load the relevant \TeX{} macros;
\item{2)} uncomment a SINGLE line at the end of the {\tt psbox.tex} file
  according to your particular way of translating \TeX{}
  output into PostScript:
$$\vbox{\halign{\tt\\ps#\hfil&\qquad#\hfil\cr
fortextures& for TeXtures on the Macintosh\cr
foroztex&    for OzTeX shareware soft on the Macintosh\cr
fordvitops&  for IBM mainframes dvi to postscript converter DVITOPS\cr
fordvips&    for Unix, PC and VAX dvi to postscript converter DVIPS\cr
%fordvitps&   for dvitps from the TeXPS package under UNIX.\cr
onlyboxes&   for poor people without any of these\cr
}}
$$
My default is TeXtures which has the advantage showing you a screen
preview if you managed to save it along with your EPSF file (this is
possible on the Mac from Adobe Illustrator, Mathematica, ...).
If you get the wrong postscript
converter, you will just get extremely white(!) figures but the
formatting of your text will be exactly the same.

\noindent You can then get your graphics where you want in the text by
just typing:
$$
\hbox{\tt\$\$\\psbox\{box.ps\}\$\$}
$$
And this is what you get:
$$
\psbox{box.ps}
%\autojoin%  This produces a joint file (see below)
$$
The {\tt\\psbox\{EPSFilename\}} macro makes a \TeX{} \\vbox
having the right size to contain the graphics and issues a \\special
command for the postscript printer to put the EPSF graphics at the
right place.

\section{Scalings}
You can moreover use Postscript to resize your graphics. This can be
done via the {\tt\\psboxto} macro: here you
specify the dimensions and \TeX{} uniformly scales the graphics to fit
entirely in the given box. For instance
$$\eqalign{\hbox{\tt\$\$}
&\hbox{\tt\\boxit\{\\psboxto(3cm;7cm)\{box.ps\}\}}\cr
&\hbox{\tt\\boxit\{\\psboxto(7cm;3cm)\{box.ps\}\}\$\$}\cr}
$$
gives
$$
\boxit{\psboxto(3cm;7cm){box.ps}}
\boxit{\psboxto(7cm;3cm){box.ps}}
$$
(we have here materialized the \TeX boxes by the
{\tt\\boxit\{anybox\}} command which can be useful for
boxing not only psboxes, but any kind of text boxes. To
control the thickness of the line and to have some white space
between your box and it's framing, you can use
{\tt\\frameit\{LineThickness\} \{WhiteSpaceThickness\} \{\\anybox\}}).

If you specify one zero dimension in {\tt\\psboxto}, you get a box
proportional to the natural one for your drawing, but with the scale
specified by the non-zero dimension: $$\eqalign{\hbox{\tt\$\$}
&\hbox{\tt\\boxit\{\\psboxto(3cm;0cm)\{box.ps\}\}}\cr
&\hbox{\tt\\boxit\{\\psboxto(0cm;3cm)\{box.ps\}\}\$\$}\cr} $$ yields
$$ \boxit{\psboxto(3cm;0cm){box.ps}} \boxit{\psboxto(0cm;3cm){box.ps}}
$$
Altenatively, you can specify a scale factor%
\footnote{*}{This way
you can be sure to get exactly the same size for the \TeX{} and EPSF
box: with {\tt\\psboxto}, you can have the \TeX box 1/1000 too large
because of rounding errors unavoidable for compatibility reasons}
($\times1000$ in the usual \TeX{} way):
$$\hbox{\tt\\psboxscaled\{250\}\{box.ps\}:}\psboxscaled{250}{box.ps}
$$
On certain occasions, you may want to offset the graphics from what
would naturally come out. All you have to do is type something like
$$\hbox{\tt\\psxoffset=0.3cm\\psyoffset=12pt}
$$
which will {\bf raise} the figure by 12pt and shift it to the right by
0.3cm. These dimensions get reset after each use of {\tt\\psbox...} so
you should type this just before the one you want to offset. These
dimensions also get scaled together with the figure if you use
{\tt\\psboxto or \\psboxscaled}:
$$\psxoffset=0.3cm\psyoffset=12pt\boxit{\psboxto(3cm;0cm){box.ps}}
\kern2cm\psxoffset=0.3cm\psyoffset=12pt\boxit{\psboxto(1cm;0cm){box.ps}}
$$
Since a {\tt\\psbox} is a true \TeX box, nothing prevents you to have
\psboxto(0cm;1em){box.ps} it in the middle of a line..(?) More
seriously, if you want your graphics to be as large as possible, you
can type
$$\hbox{\tt\$\$\\psboxto(\\hsize;0cm)\{box.ps\}\$\$}
$$
which gives
$$\psboxto(\hsize;0cm){box.ps}
$$
\section{Annotations}

For
certain figures, you might want to add something on top of the
graphics (eg. a greek letter to name an axis, or other math symbols
you use in the text). This is what
{\tt\\psannotate\{\\psbox...\}\{annotation\}} was made for. For
instance if you type
$$\hbox{\tt\$\$%
\\psannotate\{\\psboxto(10cm;3cm)\{box.ps\}\}%
\{\\fillinggrid\\at(3\\pscm;1\\pscm)\{A sample at.\}\}\$\$}
$$
you get
$$\psannotate{\psboxto(10cm;3cm){box.ps}} {\fillinggrid
\at(3\pscm;1\pscm){A sample at.}}
$$
This example displays the 2 possible annotations:
\item{-}{\tt\\at((xdim;ydim)\{annotation text\}} will place {\tt
annotation text} xdim to the right of, and ydim higher than the
current point without actually moving it (this may prove useful in
other circumstances). The dimensions may be expressed in any valid
\TeX{} unit, but here we used {\tt\\pscm} meaning scaled centimeters
in order for the annotation to keep the same relative position inside
the figure, whatever rescaling you might do later on.

\item{-}{\tt\\fillinggrid}: in order to help you in the tedious task
of determining the position of your annotations, you can use
{\tt\\fillinggrid} as one particular annotation. This will produce a
1\\pscm by 1\\pscm grid that roughly fills your figure. You will of
course have to delete these in your final document\footnote{*} {To
suppress all these grids at once in your final document, you may type
{\tt\\let\\fillinggrid=\\relax} just after the line where you
{\tt\\input psbox.tex}.}.

\section{Figure Environment For Plain\TeX}
If you have many large figures, the probability that \TeX{}
barks at you about ``overfull or underfull vbox...'' becomes
significant, because you give it a hard time trying to cut pages
into a document that has many large unbreakable units. To
overcome this problem, La\TeX{} users simply have to type:\hfil\break
{\tt\\begin\{figure\}[hbt]\hfil\break
\\begin\{center\}\\mbox\{\\psbox...\}\\end\{center\}\hfil\break
\\caption\{Some caption\}\hfil\break \\end\{figure\}\hfil\break}
In Plain\TeX{} you should use
{\tt\\centinsert\{\\psbox...\}} instead of {\tt\$\$\\psbox...\$\$}.
This will get your graphics precisely where you typed it except if
there is not enough room in the current page, in which case you'll get
it on top of the next one.

However, you will then probably want to have a caption, in case your
graphics and explanatory text get separated. You should then
use {\tt\\pscaption\{\\psbox...\}\{caption\}}, for instance
$$\hbox{
\tt\\centinsert\{\\pscaption\{\\psboxto(6cm;0cm)\{box.ps\}\}%
\{Figure 1: this is... purposes.\}\}
}$$
in order to get:
\centinsert{\pscaption{\psboxto(6cm;0cm){box.ps}}
{Figure 1: this is probably
the most stupid caption I can think of but it can still be useful for
illustrative purposes.}}
%
If your caption is short, it will automatically get centered:
$$\pscaption{\psbox{box.ps}}{\bf Figure 327.}
$$
%
\section{Multiple Files Management}
Once you start having a few figures together with a paper, it starts
being a nuisance for everybody to assemble and disassemble a large file
into it's components. I here mostly think of people receiving papers
from (but also sending papers to) a Bulletin Board and who have to do a
lot of cutting and pasting before being able to printout a paper with
it's figures. In this context, the following macros may prove handy:

\item{a.}{\tt\\joinfiles filename1, filename2, ..., filenamen \\into
JOINTFIL }\footnote{*}{
do not forget: tex filenames are
supposed to be ending by a space or return, so keep one after
{\tt JOINTFIL}!}\hfil\break
joins several files into a big one that can be split later on. Since
the goal here is universality, you should remember that PC's still form
the majority of personal computers, and they like filenames of the form
12345678.123 where you can only replace digits by a letter (no
*,\&,\$,', etc...), without distinction between upper-case and
lower-case. So, if you want portability, save your texts as 
{\tt12345678.tex} and your figures as {\tt12345678.eps} (ie. no
empty extensions): this will save you from later troubles!
The file {\tt JOINTFIL} has a header explaining how to split
it (see below) and is in fact auto-splittable. Namely, you just have to
run \TeX, or \LaTeX{} depending of what is required by the first file in
the list. This should first split the file and then tex it while
including properly the figures. You can edit the ``archive'' {\tt
JOINTFIL}, for instance to change the header, or to modify the names
under which files will be stored when split. For this you may need to
know that each file in the archive has a header line containing it's
name, eg:\hfil\break
{\tt\%Beginning-Of-File-Named:box.ps}.

\item{b.} {\tt\\autojoin}:\hfil\break
since it is painful to remember the list of all figure's names, you can
generate a joint file called {\tt psbjoin.all} by simply typing
{\tt\\autojoin} close to the end (ie. after all {\tt\\psbox...} and
{\tt\\input ...} have been issued) of the file you want to tex. This
will first close and then read in a file called {\tt psbjoin.aux} that is
always generated automatically and that basically contains the list of
all your inclusions (both figures and macros). If you never say
{\tt\\autojoin}, the file {\tt psbjoin.aux} will nevertheless be
created and will by the end of the day contain the list of files needed
for your texing session. This list will appear as an incomplete
{\tt\\joinfiles}-command. An {\tt\\autojoin} is
commented out just after the first {\tt\\psbox} of this file for
testing purposes: you could  try to uncomment it, retex this
{\tt psbsamp.tex} file, take a look at the {\tt psbjoin.all} it
created, and even try to tex {\tt psbjoin.all}, to watch the
auto-splitting happening!

\item{c.}{\tt\\splitfile JOINTFIL $^*$}\hfil\break
splits {\tt JOINTFIL} into it's constituents. Anything before the
first {\tt\%Beginning-Of-File-Named:} line is trashed into a special
file called {\tt TrashMe}: never store precious info in such a file
anyhow!  You may fear what happens if one of the constituent-file
names coincides with a previoulsy existing file on your disk. Does it
silently replace it? Well, no, relax, all output produced by these
macros use {\tt\\warnopenout} instead of the standard {\tt\\openout},
which will give you a chance to break precisely in this case. Finally,
notice you can say {\tt\\splitfile \\jobname} in which case you will
split the very file that issued such a command (this is in fact what
makes the output of {\tt\\joinfiles} auto-splittable). However,
watchout: {\tt\\jobname} has peculiar and machine-dependent
definition. It gives the name of the file currently texed MINUS it's
{\tt.tex} extension if it has one (or on certain machines, minus any
extension your filename could have) and if it has, \TeX{} will not be
able to read in from the file named {\tt\\jobname} without extension
and will complain. This explains the precaution taken in the header of
a joint file, reproduced below:
%
{\obeylines\tt\def
{\hfil\break}
\% This text was produced with psbox's \\joinfiles.
\% To decompose and tex it:
\%-save this with a filename CONTAINING ONLY LETTERS, and no extensions
\% (say, JOINTFIL), in some uncrowded directory;
\%-make sure you can \\input psbox.tex (version>=1.3);
\%-tex JOINTFIL using Plain, or LaTeX, or whatever is needed by
\% the first part in the joining (after splitting JOINTFIL into
\% it's constituents, TeX will try to process it as it stands).
\\input psbox.tex
\\splitfile \\jobname%
}
\section{Errors}
\message{The following error messages should not frighten you, they are
intentional tests. Just continue and see what comes out!} If \TeX{} cannot find
the file you specified, you will get the following output:
$$\psbox{NTBFound.ps}$$
On the other hand, an existing file which is not EPSF will produce:
$$\psbox{psbsamp.tex}$$
