Caption: A script to compile pstricks documents via pdflatex.
Description: The script extracts the preamble of the document and runs
all
'egin{postscript}...end{postscript}'
*'egin{pspicture}...end{pspicture}' and
*'pspicture...endpspicture'
separately through LaTeX with the same preamble as the original
document; thus it creates EPS, PNG and PDF files of these snippets.
In a final PDFLaTeX run the script replaces the environments with
'includegraphics' to include the processed snippets.
Detail documentation is acquired from the document itself via
Perldoc.
