I'm having difficulties importing a postscript figure into Latex.
My general steps are to create a ps output (set_plot,'ps') with
(device,/ENCAPSULATED), then include into a LaTex document.
I am looking to output both images and plots.
In Latex I have tried to use psfig as I generally do with other PS files.
IDL tech support referred me to idlplot_dvips.tex (found in IDL distribution)
which really didn't help too much--I am using Radical Eye dvips not
ArborText dvips.
The problems I am experiencing are wrong sizing, missing figures, even
strange figures.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,

We use radical eye dvips here and I've never had any problems, using
\documentstyle[epsf,11pt]{article}
in the header and then creating the figure with:
\begin{figure}
\epsffile{idl.ps}
\caption{whatever}
\end{figure}
The only slight catch is that you must only use
device,/landscape if you really want the figure perpendicular to the text.

I routinely include all sorts of IDL EPS files into
LaTeX. I use epsf.tex like this:
\input{epsf}
...
\begin{figure}
\epsfxsize=6.in
\centerline{\epsfbox{file.eps}}
\caption{blah blah}
\end{figure}
I use the stock epsf.tex file on ftp.shsu.edu
quote site index epsf.tex
On PC-TeX for windows, I have a modified version:
anonymous ftp to xray1.physics.sunysb.edu
cd pub/msdos/pctex
get epsf.tex

That's interesting. I've had no trouble using psfig to include IDL generated
.eps files with either Arbortext's dvips or with the shareware program of the
same name.
