Some applications place a binary preview of the graphics at the beginning of the eps file. This allows applications (such as dvi viewers) to display the graphics even though the application cannot interpret PostScript. Currently, relatively few TEX-related applications use such previews. - docs.miktex.org/2.5/preview.pdf [Coming attractions/upgrade of 2.4] 11 Yap 11.1 PostScript Support for PostScript has been improved significantly. For example, in the past Yap refused to display rotated text. This is not a problem anymore (see Figure 2). The motto is: Every DVI document that can be viewed with a PostScript viewer (after DVI-to-PostScript conversion) can be viewed with Yap. --- Regards, Stephen

I doubt that it is worth the effort to install Cygwin to get xdvi, although xdvi is a better viewer. The command "dvips filename" produces a .ps file which gsview (better than the Cygwin gv counterpart) can view. You probably have gsview installed as your Postscript viewer. The LaTeX caption package "Note that the TrueTeX Previewer provided with SWP and SW doesn't support rotation; you must use a different DVI previewer and print driver if you want to use the caption package to create rotated captions in a DVI file. However, PDF viewers do support rotation, so you can use the packages to create rotated captions in typeset PDF files." --- epslatex.pdf * The eps graphics are not included in the dvi file. Since the eps files must be present when the dvi file is converted to ps, the eps files must accompany dvi files whenever they are moved. * The eps graphics do not appear in most dvi viewers. To help the user with placement of the graphics, dvi viewers generally display the BoundingBox in which the graphics will be inserted. (Some viewers, such as xdvi, use ghostscript to interpret the eps graphics and display them in the dvi viewer.) --- dvipdfm will work if the image files are _only_ eps. There is also a package to make a boundingBox if it is missing. Regards, Stephen

Re: rotated figure, unrotated caption?-MORE
I need to rotate a figure and the associated caption by 90 degrees counterclockwise. http://www.ece.tamu.edu/~tex/manual/node37.html "If a figure or table is too wide, you may try to rotate the figure or table 90 degrees counter-clockwise to produce a landscape figure or table. Figures can be rotated using the angle option in \includegraphics. If the caption also needs to be rotated, use the \rotcaption command instead of \caption command in the \figure environment. The \rotcaption command requires \usepackage{rotating} to be placed before the \begin{document} in the thesis.tex file. For example, \begin{figure} \includegraphics[angle=90]{file.ps} \rotcaption{Figure Caption} \label{fig} \end{figure} I have tried this (viewing in DVI) and the figure is rotated counterclockwise but the caption remains left-to-right across the bottom of the page. A separate issue is that when I try to export to PDF with pdflatex I get the error "LaTeX Error: Unknown graphics extension: .eps." for this one figure. There are dozens of eps figures in the rest of the document that LyX correctly imports (Insert->Graphics). So, if I do get the \includegraphics working correctly with the sideways caption what do I have to do to the .eps file for LaTeX to correctly export to pdf? Yes, if you meant rotate to landscape and maintain prior caption orientation. A useful resource: www.tug.org/tex-archive/info/visualFAQ/visualFAQ.pdf For instance the 1st page answers your copyright and trademark question. I did not find an example in visualFAQ.pdf similar to what I want. Thanks Eric
