Hi

I do the following and it works extremely well.

[1] Draw figure in xfig
[2] Export as Encapsulated Post Script, Portrait Mode and usuall
    magnification of 30% as otherwise it is too big,
[3] Latex looks like this:
    \documentstyle[epsf, blah]{blah}
     ...
     ...
     \begin{figure}[h]
      \begin{centre}
       \leavemode\hbox{\epsfbox{picture.eps}}
      \end{center}
     \caption{\label{whatever}This is the caption}
    \end{figure}

That's it.

Cheerio
