The LaTeX-file is the second output file of LaTeXdraw . It is the LaTeX
source file representing the drawing. It is used with latexdraw.sty
and pstricks.tex. To convert the DVI-file to Postscript dvips is used.
The LaTeX-file is also an ASCII-file and can be modified by the user
if necessary. There are two output modes available (defined when you
save a picture):
- The LaTeX-file is a complete LaTeX-document which can be
translated by latex without further changes or additions. Then it
can be translated to a postscript-file with dvips.
- The LaTeX-file contains only the picture itsself without
headers and trailers. It starts with \beginpicture and
ends with \endpicture. This type of file is used for
including in an other document by \include.... In this
case macros defined outside the picture can be used in text strings
in the picture.
