After reading this post I tried it out, because there are many situations
where this might be a valuable addition for a plot, but I have mixed
feelings about that... the application of psfrags to IDL plots is not
100% straigthforward (a bit of editing of the EPS file itself often
required) and it bothers me that I have to embed the original plot in a LaTeX
document to have the final version. Is there a simple way of producing an
eps file (with the same size as the original plot) from the dvi output of
a LaTeX file containing just the original plot and the psfrag substitution
commands?
