I just completed my first composition of a couple of figures using
LaTeX's \picture environment, and was wondering if this is actually
the way that LaTeX'ers produce pictures.  There must be a better way
than adjusting and viewing, adjusting and viewing, ... ???

Is it feasible to produce pictures with an on-screen graphics-based
drawing tool and convert the result to LaTeX (or TeX) commands?  Has
this been done?

I'd appreciate any comments.
