I've done this to shoehorn figures into a form I want. However
I make a 1 page latex article, and use all the includegraphics tex commands
to resize, rotate, position, etc (and add captions if desired).
[then latex and dvips the latex file, which creates a nice postscript file,
which I've put into other latex files.]

Cheers,
bob

PS for instance, I've used this to shrink a 4ft by 3ft poster into
a nice letter sized postscript file (although I don't do this anymore)
