One little elaboration: I hacked tpic to produce LaTeX (not hard) 
so that you can get tpic figures via AmigaTex. It works fine.
Also, for FiG users, there is a Fig2Tex filter, so if you use fig on 
your sun then you can produce graphics for AmigaTeX. 
   (Hint, Hint: Sure hope SomeBody ports fig to the Amiga soon!)
Lots of programs produce pic output for figures, so there is a path to 
AmigaTex from other sources. And, of course, if you generate LaTeX, 
the you have it made for any printer that AmigaTeX supports.

P.S. For all of you who just decided to port Fig to the amiga :-),
look at titan.rice.edu for source.
