(Bug Frame Technologies.) This is something that someone on the framers mailing list sent me a while back. I haven't tried it though. Usually, I just do an X-window dump (or an !dc in maker) to get the image. Then I used the PBMPLUS utilities to get a PostScript file. ---begin included message Return-Path: To: jdm5548@diamond.tamu.edu (James Darrell McCauley) Return-Receipt-To: bochner@das.harvard.edu Subject: Re: Using FrameMaker PostScript with PSfig/LaTeX In-Reply-To: Your message of Tue, 27 Nov 90 21:01:25 CST Date: Wed, 28 Nov 90 10:18:20 -0500 From: Harry Bochner Here's something (somewhat old) that I grabbed off USENET; hope it helps, I haven't tried it ... ---------------- Article 7395 of comp.text: From: jch@sppy00.UUCP (HANDLEY JOHN C) Newsgroups: comp.text Subject: Framemaker 2.0 PostScript in LaTeX Date: 6 Jun 90 19:32:25 GMT Reply-To: jch@sppy00.UUCP (HANDLEY JOHN C) Organization: Online Computer Library Center, Dublin, Ohio. Lines: 35 I had some success in getting a Framemaker 2.0 PostScript figure into LaTeX using ArborTex's dvips by doing the following: 1) commenting out the showpage command in /FMENDPAGE 2) commenting out the xscale yscale stuff in /FMBEGINPAGE and putting my own scaling factors in. 3) putting translate parameters in once I knew where LaTeX wanted to put the figure on the page. 4) changed "1 1 612 792 0 1 2 FMDOCUMENT" to "1 1 360 360 0 1 2 FMDOCUMENT" since I had a 5 inch by 5 inch figure. 5) changed "0 0 612 792 C" to "0 0 612 648 C" The C function appears to clip. I simply adjusted on the the parameters so that it didn't chop out anything visible on the page. I'm sure some more rational and patient person can figure out how to do it right and consistently. Also, the X/NeWS tool pageview complains about these Framemaker PostScript files but is able to display them. Shame on Frame!
