from the doc:
PSfrag provides the best of both worlds by allowing the user to
precisely overla
y Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) files with arbitrary LATEX
constructions. In ord
er to accomplish this, the user places a simple text "tag" in the
graphics file,
as a "position marker" of sorts. Then, using simple LATEX commands, the
user in
structs PSfrag to remove that tag from the figure, and replace it with a
properl
y sized, aligned, and rotated LATEX equation. PSfrag also allows the
user to pla
ce LATEX constructs directly into the EPS file itself.

- the use of \scalebox gives a problem when you always
load package pstricks, because there is also a
\scalbox definined, but with different parameters.
- \scalebox is not the preferred command to resize
images, this should always be done with
\includegraphics[scale=XXX]{file}

If you use psfrag.sty, you get different results when using
\includegraphics[scale=2]{file.eps}
and when using
\scalebox{2}{\includegraphics{file.eps}}
Re: Comments on InsetGraphics
Hi Even,
I think the correct Latex command for scaling graphics is:
\includegraphics[scale=]{file.eps}

I'm using graphicx only, why would a user want to use graphics? (I can
think of when exporting and giving to others, but graphicx should be
present a.e. [almost everywhere - that is, everywhere besides a set of
measure zero]).

\scalebox{2}{\includegraphics{file.eps}}
or if you use graphicx, \includegraphics[scale=2]{file.eps}.
BTW, if you plan to use graphicx, you should let the user decide if he want
to use graphics or graphicx.

Imagine the case where you have two figure of different >size. Then it might make sense to shrink both by the same factor. Right now I'm supporting the basics, and only what I saw in InsetFig, I'll write it in my wishlist file (at the header of insetgraphics.C). It would help if you could provide the needed latex command to use, I will do it myself some other time, but if it's a trival command and you provide it, I'll do it ASAP. -- Baruch Even http://baruch.ev-en.org/
