Re: st: Graph Quality in Latex

[Daniel Stegmueller <d.stegmueller@gmail.com>]

Martin,

I am sorry, I did forget that (oh, those dark times....)


With your LaTeX distribution comes a tool called --epstopdf--. You can  
use it to convert EPS files into PDF.

Another option is to use the epstopdf package. You include it in  
your .tex document and it calls the epstopdf program at runtime --  
which is quite convenient if you have a lot of graphs in your document.

Hope this was more helpful this time...
Daniel
