I'm having some trouble using the \special{} feature of dvips
4.0 (is this the current version?).
Here is my environment:
Sun 3
Apple laserwriter
Fig, fig2ps, SunDraw, Picsure (PVI)
Problems:
1. I can get the postscript pics from Picsure and Fig to
print (\special{psfile=blahblah hscale=50 vscale=50})
BUT I can not scale or reposition them.
2. Encapsulated PS from SunDraw is rejected by the
printer (BINARY FILE REJECTED).
This is a sample of what I've tried:
\begin{figure}[p]
\center{ %
\vbox to 8in {\vss \hbox to 3in {\special{psfile=isopic.ps} \hss }}
} %
\vspace{-2 in}
\caption{Relation between adsorption isotherm and shape of plume.\label{ADPIC}}
\end{figure}
BY DOING STRANGE THINGS TO vbox and hbox (above) I can get the
drawing close to where I want it. This particular drawing (Fig,
fig2ps) is almost a full page and I would like to scale it down
to ca 80% of its present size.
Thanks, your help is appreciated!
