Name of contribution: auto-pst-pdf Author's name: Will Robertson Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/auto-pst-pdf Summary description: Automatic pst-pdf processing License type: lppl
Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The package uses -shell-escape to execute pst-pdf. 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.
v0.4 adds options to change the commandline flags passed to the auxiliary programs, improves robustness and flexibility, and simplifies the output from using the package. ----------------------------------------------------------------------
