I am trying to obtain nice Matlab figures in my LaTeX report and although there are many ways to achieve this, a lot of them don't work for my large data plots.

But using LaPrint gets me nice graphical results but I have a problem with my labels. They are all shown like:

s06,s05,x01,x02,..etc

I localized the problem in the fact that my TeXstudio invokes pdflatex where it should invoke latex -> dvips -> ps2pdf. How do I properly set that up? I did like this following latex-dvips-ps2pdf

I added a user command as follows:

user0: LaTex.DVIPS.PS2PDF
latex --synctex=1 -interaction=nonstopmode --shell-escape %.tex | dvips -o %.ps %.dvi| ps2pdf %.ps

and set that as default compiler command

DefaultCompiler
user0:LaTex.DVIPS.PS2PDF

Error:

Could not start the command: user0:LaTex.DVIPS.PS2PDF

Hack:

If you set the latex command to:

latex --synctex=1 -interaction=nonstopmode --shell-escape %.tex | dvips -o %.ps %.dvi| ps2pdf %.ps

it works, only it is an ugly solution since you are inserting other commands dvips and ps2pdf into the latex command.

  • Hope the edited title is OK (if not, do change it), it seems like my suggestion more accurately describes the problem.

  • Thankyou, that is indeed a better description. Halfway trough my posting I learned something that made the question a bit different.

Probably the only error in the first solution was the naming of the default compiler.

You should call txs:///user0 there.

The naming pattern for user commands is <command id>:<display name> see the manual. In your case (user0:LaTex.DVIPS.PS2PDF), user0 is the id, "LaTex.DVIPS.PS2PDF" is used for the label in the Tools menu.
