I have installed GNUplot and emTeX on my PC and am trying to integrate them, but have been having problems with TeX's "memory capacity exceeded" (as expected). I have found some comments floating about that say eepic macros work, and you suggest epsf, which I assume is some encapsulated postscript converter. My question is, where can I obtain a macro which will allow me to import complex plots from GNUplot into emTeX without maxing out TeX? Please email......Gracias, Grazie, Danke, Merci, Xie Xie, Thanks, ...
