Introduction
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Eps2pgf is a PostScript interpreter that converts Encapsulated PostScript
(EPS) figures to the Portable Graphics Format (PGF)
<http://sourceforge.net/projects/pgf/>. PGF/TikZ is a TeX macro package for
generating graphics. It support several back-end drivers, including pdfTeX
and Dvips. The major advantage of Eps2pgf is that all texts are typeset by
LaTeX, giving you all the powerful typesetting features and a uniform look
of the final document. It has several options to control how text in figures
is handled: (i) reproduce text labels accurately (with same font size and
formatting as in EPS figure), (ii) copy text labels verbatim (text in EPS
figure is LaTeX code), or (iii) replace text labels using PSfrag-compatible
rules from a separate file, or using tags embedded in the text labels.

The goal of Eps2pgf is to support all PostScript figures created by programs
regularly used by LaTeX users to create figures, such as MATLAB, Mathematica
and Maple. If you encounter a figure that Eps2pgf fails to process, please
report it using the bug tracker
<http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=188852&atid=926973>, or send it
via email.

Usage
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
See the user manual doc\eps2pgf_manual.pdf, or run Eps2pgf with the command
line argument '--help'.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Building
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Building Eps2pgf from source requires Apache Ant <http://ant.apache.org/>,
and a Java Development Kit (e.g. Sun's JDK <http://java.sun.com/>). To build
Eps2pgf run Ant from the base directory:

    ant <target>
    
Replace <target> by one of the following targets:
    - jar  - Builds the jar and prepares the distribution directory. After
             compilation the directory 'dist_root' contains the complete
             Eps2pgf distribution.
    - test - Run a test suite with small synthetic PostScript tests and the
             test figures found in the 'testsuite\test_figures' directory.
    - zip  - Prepares the distribution directory ('jar' target) and zips it.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Copyright and License
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
See the files NOTICE.txt and LICENSE.txt. Or run Eps2pgf with the command
line option '--version'.
