I've tried, and had some difficulties working with the interface. It is
probably just differences in the way things are done, versus Ventura
Publisher. So, acquiring new interface skills slows the process for
getting the paper out.
Right now, my big problem is scaling of a PDF graphic image. So
far, I can get it either in a horribly small form, or it takes all of its
own page, even if it is still in a horribly small form. I've been reading
the graphics package but, haven't found good examples for what I
want to do.
I am not really interested in re-drawing the graphics for the paper.
Since PDF importation works, I'd like to use it. Ventura will easily
prepare the PDFs. What I need to understand is how to properly
scale those images, and place them so that they are neighborly
with regard to surrounding text and images.
The current text of the tex file contains this snippet:
\begin{figure}
\centering
\scalebox{1}{\includegraphics*[width=1\textwidth, totalheight=300pt]
{figure1.pdf}}
\label{Figure 1. An active sub-configuration s' which is identical to its
state transition, F(s') = s', classifiable as passive or
active, depending upon applied metric. No other figure shows signa, as this
figure does.}
\end{figure}
Also, I don't understand why the text in the \label{} command does
not show up as a caption. More newbie-itis I suppose.
