LaTeX – A document preparation system
My question: If I had LaTex installed on my iMac with OS 10.2.8 would
it
take the place of MSWord X for producing my final document for
submission to
scientific journal. Or on my next Mac when Tiger comes out, LaTeX can
take
the place of MSWord and I won't need it at all?
Using Octave/Gnuplot/AquaTerm I can save as pdf or eps. Current MS
Word does
not fully support PDFs and creates a bitmap, therefore print quality
is not
adequate. If I insert the EPS into MS Word, I can print with good
quality
but cannot see the eps on the screen because I don't have/don't know
how to
make an EPS file with Tiff or PICT preview.
So is LaTex the solution to my problem? I could also buy iWorks which
supports PDF and therefore won't rasterize (make a bit map) of my PDF
files
that were created with AquaTerm.

The easiest way to do this is using the "print" command in the
octave-forge package (http://octave.sf.net). It is very similar to the
print function in Matlab. Without this function, you can do something
like this:
gset term postscript
gset output filename.eps
replot
There are additional options for the first command that are in the
gnuplot documentation.
