I have been quite happy with the TeXtoIDL package myself, but I know
of a package offered on the CTAN servers which might do what you want.
It is called 'psfrag' and this is from "The LaTeX Catalogue Online,
Complete CTAN Edition":
( http://ctan.unsw.edu.au/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/catalogue .html )
psfrag
A set of macros and a PostScript header which allows LaTeX constructions
(equations, picture environments, etc.) to be precisely superimposed
over Encapsulated PostScript figures. The user can use his/her favorite
drawing tool to create an EPS figure, placing simple text ``tags'' where
each replacement is to be placed. PSfrag will automatically remove those
tags from the figure and replace them with the LaTeX construction that
the user specifies, properly aligned, scaled, and/or rotated.
Latest recorded version is 3.03. (31 Jan 1997)
Hope this helps,
Kevin
