EPS file inclusion #9

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
try to include an eps figure in the pdf 

:error unknown graphics extension .eps

version design 0.1r40-1 linux amd64

This errror is due to compilation with pdflatex, suggest adding the option
to compile with the slightly slower latex, -> dvips, -> pstopdf

something like 
        #compilation with latex > dvi2ps > ps2pdf
        os.popen2( 'latex -interaction=nonstopmode "%s"'% (self.tex_file) )
        os.popen2( 'dvips  -o "%s".ps "%s".dvi '% (self.project_name,
self.project_name) )
        os.popen2( 'ps2pdf "%s".ps "%s".pdf ' % (self.project_name,
self.project_name) )

however I cant quite get this to work in with the temporary directory set
up, it would be much easier to create the temporary tex file as
filename.tex~ as in most gnome applications do and then compile in the
working directory. 

can anyone help with this my python is not very good
