st: Re: including EPS in pdflatex

[Kit Baum <baum@bc.edu>]

Stata's default graphics ARE color graphs, and Stata's sjlatex package 
works just fine to produce color graphs via pdflatex in my installation 
of that software (TeXShop on OS X 10.3). They are not bitmapped; I can 
blow up the resulting pdf to the size of my living room wall and 
everything is sharp as it can be.

Ian's comments may relate to his choice of operating system and LaTeX 
installation. My LaTeX installation is the standard *Unix/Linux teTeX 
distribution. I think those who use that OS from Redmond use a 
different distribution of LaTeX: the solution of Philippe van Kerm's 
that Ian proposes is a Windows-specific solution, depending on the 
MikTeX distribution.

I would not expect that any Unix or Linux user would have any 
difficulties with including monochrome or color graphics in a document 
processed by pdflatex, or for that matter need  Ghostscript, etc.
