PSPIC won't be much use for in-line images, since the standard implementations of the macro cause a line break! The best way is to define a special-purpose macro which uses the escape-sequence "\X'ps: import ... ". There was a discussion of "sparklines" a while ago, which is essentially the same problem (though with some extra constraints). I did a demo file (with full explanation) at that time which can be found at: http://www.zen89632.zen.co.uk/Misc/do_spark_howto.pdf This demo example uses the EPS file which can be found at http://www.zen89632.zen.co.uk/Misc/spark.average.fund.size.eps You can probably use/adapt the methods described there for your own needs. If you have further questions, please come back to us!
