Name of contribution: auto-pst-pdf Author's name: Will Robertson Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/auto-pst-pdf Summary description: Wrapper for pst-pdf (with some psfrag features) License type: lppl
Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- auto-pst-pdf uses --shell-escape to execute pst-pdf when necessary. This makes it especially easy to integrate into the workflow of an editor with just LaTeX and pdfLaTeX buttons.
Wrappers are provided for various psfrag-related features so that Matlab figures via laprint, Mathematica figures via MathPSfrag, and regular psfrag figures can all be input consistently and easily. ----------------------------------------------------------------------
