taking unncessary space after e.g. or i.e. Thanks. When I write "for example" in full, then I use a comma before and after. But when writing its abbreviation then I don't use any commas at all. |

What do people use for modifying figures? Check out modlaprint also: hermes.mt.ltu.se/texcourse/doc/modlaprint.m Well u just have to place modlaprint and laprint in the same folder. And you can forget it afterwards. |

What do people use for modifying figures? You're welcome. I know that you have written lots of good and helpful documents out there in LaTeX. It'll be hard for me to forget your name :). |

What do people use for modifying figures? Just don't use Gimp on an eps file. The file afterwards won't truly be an eps. |

What do people use for modifying figures? I'm not being anonymous :). My user name here has my last name in it. Here's the link to the PracTeX article: tug.org/pracjourn/2008-1/calleecharan |

What do people use for modifying figures? Are you the Will Robertson who has been contributing for the PracTeX journal? I remember the name from this journal as I also contributed one article there. I don't think any PracTeX article has really tried to give practical methods to handle figures in LaTeX. There are some articles but they are quite general in nature. |

What do people use for modifying figures? The positive thing with Gnuplot remains of course its variety of options and tools available to get exactly the plot that you want. You can control practically anything on the plotting area. Matlab doesn't seem to have all these options and thus if you are using Laprint/Matlab, you have to play a little in Matlab and then in LaTeX if you need to do some changes. |

What do people use for modifying figures? I don't remember exactly but with the epslatex terminal once you set a font size it's fixed. If you scale the diagram in LaTeX, then you won't have control over the new size of the fonts and you don't have a possibility in LaTeX to specify the font size you want. This problem is eliminated by the Metapost terminal but I found that the resulting eps files were rather much bigger than the ones produced with the Laprint/Matlab combination. |

correcting label placement with psfrag I have never used fig2tex before. I am looking at it right now and was wondering if it is mainly for line drawings. What about its suitability for bifurcation diagrams where we have dense points? You can see a bifurcation diagram here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:LogisticMap_BifurcationDiagram.png I have actually denser regions than what the above example provides. |

correcting label placement with psfrag Thanks. I haven't tried this. But adding phantom characters may not be an elegant solution. With the \arraystretch command, I have just 1 parameter to play with (see my extended answer) and I think it's less messy than using phantom characters. But I know that phantom characters are very useful: I have indeed used them before in other LaTeX documents :). |
