Hallo!
I also like the article, its idea, everything… but unfortunately, octave the_file.m does not work for me I installed octave 2.9 I heard about it for the first time, so I just followed the instructions… well now that I read the comments, I’m a bit afraid that I will need pdflatex, but maybe not… so lets try to fix this: why do I get

parse error near line 2 of file /home/edita/Desktop/the_file.m

syntax error

>>> gset output “the_file.eps”

?
thanks for the answer!

hello
some time ago I wrote a bash script called texfig:

http://texfig.sourceforge.net/

for generating graphs in xfig which uses latex for typesetting.
This is very handy. Just import your graph in xfig and label
it there. The problem with psfrag is :
*) you cannot use it with pdflatex.
*) having a picture with latex included is more flexible as you can import it
to any “word processor”
