This section describes the user interface of PDF Frag. There are some markers contained in the screenshot below. Related descriptions can be found in the text below.

File Chooser (1)

Here you can select one or more graphic files to create PDFs from.

Package Text (2)

Package imports for the temorary TEX file. You should at least use
    \usepackage[dvips]{graphicx,color}
and
    \usepackage[scanall]{psfrag}

Document Text (3)

Contains LaTeX commands for the document body. PSFrag replacements can be realised via
    \psfrag{<placeholder>}[][]{<replacement>}

Automatic Digit Replacements (4)

You can use an optional automatic replacement of floating point numbers. PSFrag replacements can be realised via
    \psfrag{<number>}[][]{<pre> <number> <post>}
Using the
    set terminal postscript eps
    set out "graph.eps"
command within GnuPlot files seems to work fine. If the related Computer Modern Truetype font is installed on your system, the command
    set terminal postscript eps "cmr10,14"
improves the character size similarity of placeholders and replacements.

Buttons (5)

The PsFragg button will start the building of PDF files based on the selected image files. You must have specified the correct paths to the external programs.

The paths can be set via the Configure Tools button. Use absolute paths and avoid blanks at the end.

The Help button will open this documentation files.

Clicking the Exit button will quit PDF Frag.
