the best way (IMHO) is by using Xfig to produce pstex/eepic formatted graphics. You will get a consistency font in the document. I have used this format for all my graphics in my thesis. In detail, I have used the following format and tools: - EPS ----------> raster images ---> GIMP (if need text, don't used GIMP inset the figure in Xfig and add text) - pstex/eepic --> vector drawing --> Xfig - tex/pslatex --> graphic plot ----> Gnuplot (can also produce metapost, pstricks, fig) If you need a nice drawing, use combined: sketch (EPS) --> xfig (+ text to produce pstex output) Sketch can produce a gradation filling, but has no TeX output format. Do not add text in sketch... Little bit complicated, but the quality is the best...:-). Wayan
