  1. Ma 375 - Communicating MathematicsCarl Eberhart and Paul Eakin Class 4 -- Getting Graphics

  2. 5 ways to make pictures in LaTeX • Use LaTeX picture commands • Use MS Paint to draw b&w .bmp files • Use Maple to generate color .eps files • Use Paint Shop Pro to draw color .eps files • Use commands from the PSTricks package

  3. LaTeX picture commands Here is a sample picture drawn with picture commands in LaTeX. setlength{\unitlength}{.5in} \begin{picture}(7,4) \put(0,0){\vector(1,5){3} \put(2,2){$\sqrt{2}$} \end{picture}

  4. MS Paint • Launch the Paint from Accessories • Set the size to something like 4 by 2.4 inches • Make a drawing • Save as monochrome bmp (say pic.bmp) in the right directory • include graphicx in your list of packages • put \includegraphics[height=4in,width=2.4in]{pic.bmp} in your tex file

  5. Maple To graph sin(x) and x^3: • Launch Maple (release 4 or 5) • Then in a worksheet issue these commands plotsetup(ps,plotoutput=`pic.eps`,plotoptions=`color`); plot({sin(x),x^3},x=-Pi..Pi); • get the file pic.eps into the right directory • proceed as above with MS Paint

  6. The PSTricks Package • Think of this as a huge extension of the picture environment. Among other things you can write along a curve with Pstricks. • The style files and documentation are freely available from the TeX archives

  7. Paint Shop Pro • Think of this as a better paint program • Its main advantage over paint is that you can save in the color eps format • It is inexpensive but high quality shareware
