Save eps...

When selecting the Save Eps entry in the File-menu, the selected pages, i.e., the pages selected on the hierarchypage or the current page, will be save to a file. If Use Pagename as filename, in the Eps setup dialog, was not selected, you will be prompted for the filename for each page. If Use Pagename as filename was selected, the diagrams will be saved in the current directory, with the Pagename and, if selected, the suffix selected in the Eps setup... dialog.

You can then read the EPS file into some application and modify it, or include it in a document, e.g. include it as a figure in a LaTeX file to obtain a result as below:

If you use the epsfig-package, this can be done by

\begin{figure}[!ht]
\center\epsfig{file=foo.eps}
\caption{foobar}
\end{figure}
which includes the file foo.eps in the figure with the caption foobar.

Other options for epsfig is:

\epsfig{file=«fn»,height=«ht»,width=«wd»,clip=,angle=«deg»,%
        silent=,bbllx=«blx»,bblly=«bly»,bburx=«brx»,bbury=«bry»}
where
  • file is the filename of the EPS file.
  • heigth sets the height of the picture. If not specified the picture will be printed with its natural heigth.
  • width sets the width of the picture.
  • clip ensures that no portion of the figure will appear outside its BoundingBox.
  • angle determines the angle of rotation in degrees counting counterclockwise. The same as the rotate in the Eps setup... dialog.
  • silent makes the \epsfig command work silently.
  • bbllx, bblly, bburx and bbury sets the x and y coordinates of the lower left and upper right corner of the BoundingBox.

The epsfig package is further described in The LaTeX companion by Goossens, Mittelbach and Samarin.
