Re: [PLUG] using Xfig with LaTeX

[Jaiwant Mulik <jmulik@unix.temple.edu>]

>From xfig, export your fig as "encapsulated postscript" this will give you
a .eps (say myfig.eps) file then you can:

before your \begin{document} use \usepackage{graphics}

\begin{figure}
\rotatebox{90}{\scalebox{0.5}{\includegraphics{myfig.eps}}}
\caption{blah blah}
\label{myfig}
\end{figure}

Notice the scaling factor (0.5), if you need it and the
rotation factor (i forget it is is clock on anti-clockwise).
