Firstly hello,
thanks everybody who offered help.
It seems that the most straight forward approach is to do the following
:
a] run octave and make a plot.
b] save the plot as a figure
it is important to set the fig term like so :
gset term fig textspecial
c] run fig2ps on the output file :
fig2ps homepage : http://fig2ps.sourceforge.net/
fig2ps fileName.fig
should spit out fileName.ps
d] view the output ps ... it should have latex style formatting in it.
the resulting ps image does not suffer from aliasing and scales nicely.
I have tried several conversion scripts and the one specified above
works very nicely, including complete cropping of the output ps file.
thanks
Matt
