We've had this conversation before :) http://www.octave.org/mailing-lists/help-octave/2005/166It is a matter of personal preference. I much prefer having standalone, printable pdf figures. (I actually use 'fig2pdf' rather than 'fig2ps.) These I include in latex documents with "\includegraphics{}" rather than "\input{}". Another advantage is that these figures are easy to submit when submitting documents to journals.
