Printing with LatDraw

To print press the p key. You will get a print dialog.

There is a hack to let you make a file that can be used with LaTeX.
  • Press P (that is, capital P). This will silently make a file outx.ps in the current directory. (Use find if necessary.) You may want to rename it.
  • In you LaTeX file include the next line near the top:
    \special{header=draw.ps}
  • In you LaTeX add the following where you want the figure.
    \begin{figure}[hbt]
    \begin{center}\leavevmode
    \includegraphics{outx.ps}%
    \end{center}
    \caption{A description of your figure}
    \end{figure}
    You will need a bounding box. It can either be an eps comment in outx.ps or given in the \includegraphics command.
  • If you don't have draw.ps, here it is.
