The LaTeX Graphics Companion: Illustrating Documents with TeX and Postscript(R) by Michel Goossens

Description

   

  This handy reference describes techniques and tricks needed to illustrate LaTeX documents, and answers common user questions about graphics and PostScript fonts. It provides the first full description of the standard LaTeX color and graphics packages, and shows how you can combine TeX and PostScript capabilities to produce beautifully illustrated pages. Following the successful format of The LaTeX Companion, this new book is an invaluable LaTeX resource for people incorporating pictures into text.
You will learn how to: incorporate graphic files into a LaTeX document, program technical diagrams using several differant languages, produce color pictures, achieve special effects with fragments of embedded PostScript, and make high-quality music scores and games diagrams.
You will find detailed descriptions of: important packages like Xy-pic, PSTricks, and METAPOST; the standard LaTeX color and graphics packages; PostScript fonts and how to use them in LaTeX; the dvips dvi to PostScript driver; and Ghostscript, the free interpreter that lets you view or print PostScript files even if you do not have a PostScript printer.
The authors examine a number of packages that extend or modify LaTeX's basic illustration features, and present hundreds of examples of useful solutions to graphics and font problems. In addition to packages for general drawing, the book also presents specific tools for mathematicians, physicists, chemists, engineers, and people interested in games and music typesetting.
All the packages and programs described in this book are freely available in public software archives, and the source code for all examples has been placed on CTAN, the TeX archives (details on page 497).

    thanks

    Thank you. I'm buying the LaTeX Companion and with this the power of LaTeX/TeX is made much more accessible.

    I'm also going to buy the June 2007 paperback update of this phenomenal work. Herbert Voss is one of the authors of this new edition: http://www.amazon.com/Graphics-Companion-Techniques-Computer-Typesetting/dp/0321508920/ref=sr_1_3/002-5658127-3136804?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1175722938&sr=1-3

    Thank you very much.
A very useful book.
