Re: st: Any way to annotate a Stata graph with LaTeX?

[Daniel Becker <daniel.becker@uni-rostock.de>]

Hallo Dave,

1. TeX is installed as MacTeX (essentially TeX Live) http://tug.org/mactex2 
.
2. In addition, the command epspdf is available, see http://tug.ctan.org/pkg/epspdf 
 (This is not epstopdf!!!)

The only thing that is Mac-specific is the Editor I use for LaTeX:  
TeXShop. It has a convenient functionality to run latex, dvipdf,  
ps2pdf13 and epspdf on the LaTeX-file that annotates the eps-graphic  
("engines") - other OSs and editors have other ways to do that.

Nothing in the procedure is Mac-specific. Instead of MacTeX/TeXLive,  
it could also be a MikTeX/Winedt install on a PC. The only thing that  
is OS and user specific is a way to run the necessary sequence of  
commands on the .tex  file.

See also the LaTeX & Co section on my homepage http://www.wiwi.uni-rostock.de/~wsf8545/

Does that help you already? What other info is necessary?

Daniel
