PSTEXT2EPS(1)

💖 pstex2eps(1) — the glow-up from PLplot pstex files to EPS 💖

okay so bestie, you've been out here with PLplot's pstex driver and now you've got a whole situation on your hands. this little program is the one that turns that situation into an actual Encapsulated PostScript file (aka an eps). no cap. 🦋

It's from the General Commands Manual, and the whole vibe is: give it a filename, get a picture. slay.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

pstex2eps <filename>

that's it. one argument. one job. she's a minimalist. 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

pstex2eps is a program that generates an Encapsulated Postscript file (eps) from the PLplot pstex driver generated files. iconic behaviour honestly.

<filename> is the name of the output file you specified with the -o option in PLplot. so like, whatever you told PLplot to call it, that's the name you feed in here.

⚠️ okay this part is important, don't skip it: there must exist two files before you run this. two. not one. two. 😭 - the postscript file without text, called <filename> - the latex file with the text, called <filename>_t

the output file will be named <filename>.eps. periodt. 💖

The Computer Modern Type 1 fonts will be included in the output eps file. so the fonts are coming along for the ride, they're part of the group chat now. 🫶

If you intent to use the plot figure in LaTeX, just use a plain \include{<filename>_t} in your latex file. that's the whole move. literally just that. 🎀
