Thanks. I tried this: (pretty much copied from rasterimage):
Template gracepdf
GuiName "gracepdf: $$AbsOrRelPathParent$$Basename"
HelpText
A grace plot to pdf
HelpTextEnd
InputFormat grace
FileFilter "*.agr"
AutomaticProduction true
Transform Rotate
Transform Resize
Transform Clip
Transform Extra
Format PDFLaTeX
TransformOption Rotate RotationLatexOption
TransformOption Resize ResizeLatexOption
TransformOption Clip ClipLatexOption
TransformOption Extra ExtraOption
Option Arg "[$$Extra,$$Rotate,$$Resize,$$Clip]"
Product "\\includegraphics$$Arg{$$AbsOrRelPathMaster$$Basename}"
UpdateFormat pdftex
UpdateResult "$$AbsPath$$Basename.pdf"
Requirement "graphicx"
# Preamble WarnNotFound
# Preamble InputOrWarn
ReferencedFile latex "$$AbsPath$$Basename.pdf"
FormatEnd
TemplateEnd
But view/pdflatex gives this error:
\includegraphics
{0_home_nbecker_shannon2_mercurial_sync_phase_detector}
So 1) graphicx wasn't included even though I required it and
2) what's with the strange file name?
