This small script can create figures using gnuplot and latex.
Author is Herve Henry.
First download the epslatex2eps.tar.gz archive and inflate it.
Then: To install just copy the /epslatex2eps/ directory somewhere (/usr/local/) if you can or ~/mybin/ if you want. example:
cd ../
mv ./epslatex2eps /usrlocal/bin
Make ./bin/epslatex2eps executable (chmod 755 ./bin/epslatex2eps)
Change the variable chemin in ./bin/epslatex2eps to the right value (/usr/local/epslatex2eps).
You need to have latex, gnuplot and ps2epsi installed. The later may be replaced by anything that converts postscript to eps with proper bounding box (fixbb?). If so, just replace ps2epsi with the ps to eps converter you are using.
The executable assumes sh is /bin/sh. It may be different on your system. Just edit the first line accordingly.
