The command \epsfxsize = 0.5\textwidth makes the graphic’s
width equal to half the value of \textwidth. The y size of the graphic
will be scaled proportionally. The epsf function uses the bounding box
comment in the .eps file to determine the size of the graphic.
The final (PostScript) output can be previewed on the screen
using previewing software such as PageView (Sun), Ghostview, or
GNU Ghostscript (multiplatform freeware).

Microsoft Word
Word 7 To include a matlab graphic in Microsoft Word, print an
Encapsulated PostScript file from matlab. Then, from within Word,
create a frame by selecting “Insert”→“Frame” and drag the mouse so
that the frame is as big as you want the graphic. Then insert the Encap-
sulated PostScript file into the frame by choosing “Insert”→“Picture
... ”. Select the appropriate file using the dialog box that appears. The
graphic will not be viewable on the screen in the Word document but it
will appear when printed.

Word 97 In Word 97, choose “Insert”→“Picture”→“From File ... ”
and select the .eps file from the dialog box. Once the picture is inserted
you can resize it by clicking on it and dragging the nodes that appear at
the corners and edges.

Microsoft PowerPoint

In PowerPoint, select “Insert”→“picture ... ” and select the file you
want to insert. Encapsulated PostScript and bitmap files generally pro-
duce good results. A PostScript figure will not appear on the screen,
except as a box outline, but a bitmap will appear. However, a PostScript
figure will be higher quality when printed. If you want to overlay
explanatory text, arrows, etc. from within PowerPoint, use the bitmap
format.

CorelDraw
CorelDraw is able to import files of many different formats. From the
File menu choose “Import ... ” and select the file. You may need to
select a file type from the “Files of type” popup menu. The Encapsulated
PostScript format will not appear on the screen, except as a box outline,
