Hello, My preferred solutions are:
For a graphical interface based solution: - Ipe can export to EPS and PDF - http://*ipe*7.sourceforge.net/ (possible to install it in different OSs) Ipe has a somewhat strange interface, but it is very powerfil, when you grok it. - JpicEdt can export to PSTRicks - http://jpicedt.sourceforge.net (Java, so it is compatible with your OS) Works as it is supposed, but not really updated anymore, I am afraid, but it is in Java, so remains perfectly compatible. For drawing pictures by code: - Tikz (included in your distribution as a Latex package): http://www.texample.net/tikz/examples/ : more complex to master, but the pure Latex solution, extremely powerful. On OSX, I also like to use EazyDraw + LatexIt for the inclusion of the texts and equations in the graphics. I hope this helps. Murat 2012/7/16 William R.
