NAME
fragmaster - Using psfrag constructs with pdflatex
SYNOPSIS
fragmaster [options]
Create EPS and PDF files with embedded psfrag substitutions.
Options:
-h,--help Brief usage guide.
-m,--man Show full man page (needs perldoc)
--clean Clean auto-generated $basename.{eps,pdf} files.
--debug Show more info and leave temporary files behind.
--force Rebuild everything ignoring modification times.
--dirfm=file Use given file as optional per-directory
fragmaster fm control file instead of default
"fragmaster.dfm".
DESCRIPTION
fragmaster is a perl script that helps using psfrag constructs with pdflatex.
psfrag is a LaTeX package which allows to replace text elements in included EPS graphics
by arbitrary LaTeX output. Because psfrag uses PostScript for making the replacements, in
principle you can't use psfrag with pdflatex which doesn't have any interfaces to
PostScript.
fragmaster produces a new EPS from your original EPS which already contains all those
psfrag replacements. This new EPS graphic actually can be converted to PDF including all
replacements. The resulting "encapsulated" PDF can then be used with pdflatex.
fragmaster will scan the current directory for files which end in _fm and have a _fm.eps
counterpart. Looking at the modification dates, the script checks if the output files
have to be rebuilt and does so if necessary (a little like "make" would do it).
In your LaTeX document you can include the produced graphics using
\includegraphics{<graphics>}
conveniently omitting file extension. latex will choose the EPS, pdflatex will choose the
PDF.
fragmaster control file and other related files.
To use the script you have to create two files per graphic:
* <graphics>_fm.eps: the EPS file itself,
* <graphics>_fm: a fragmaster control file.
From these files the psfragged graphics will be created:
* <graphics>.eps,
* <graphics>.pdf
The _fm control file is basically a LaTeX file (with optionally special comments) and can
look like this:
% Just an ordinary comment
%
% Some special comments:
% fmclass: book
% fmclassopt: 11pt
% fmopt: width=6cm
%
% Another special comment:
% head:
% \usepackage{amsmath}
% end head
% psfrag commands:
\psfrag{x}{$x$}
\psfrag{y}{$y = x^2$}
Special comment "fmclass:" will make the script use given class instead of default
"article" class.
Special comment "fmclassopt:" will make the script use given options as class options
instead of default "12pt".
The special comment "fmopt:" will be evaluated such that the following text will by passed
as optional argument to "\includegraphics". This way you can e.g. adjust the relation
between graphics size and font size using something like "fmopt: width=6cm". No global
default for this.
The special comment construct "head:/end head" causes the lines in between to be included
in the preamble of the LaTeX temporary document after having the leading comment
characters "%" stripped off. This way, you can include LaTeX packages, as in
"\usepackage{amsmath}". No global default for this.
Per-directory fragmaster dir control file.
You can set per-directory "fmclass:", "fmclassopt:", "fmopt:" and "head:/end head" options
by means of a per-directory fragmaster control file fragmaster.dfm with similar syntax as
above. You can use another file by means of the --dirfm option. Note that options set
this way are mutually exclusive, any option set in per-file _fm file will completely
override associated option in per-directory file, and options set in per-directory file
will override initial defaults ("\documentclass[12pt]{article}"). Empty options are
ignored.
This is work in progress and still needs extensive checking. Double-check that
modification date based rebuilds are working properly.
KNOWN PROBLEMS
In case the EPS will be produced as landscape graphics, i.e. gv shows Landscape instead of
Portrait in the menu bar, and the graphic will end up turned around 90 degrees in your
document, then it is likely that your original EPS is wider than it is tall. In this case
some (more recent) versions of dvips make the "smart" assumption that your graphic is
landscape, even though the graphic's proportions don't tell anything about the orientation
of its contents... This still can happen in case your input EPS matches a standard paper
size.
Anyway, you can make dvips behave nicer by specifying the following line in
/usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/config.pdf (or a local equivalent inside
/usr/local/share/texmf):
@ custom 0pt 0pt
In the likely case that you're wondering why, I'd recommend the dvipsk sources warmly to
you...
