How to install Javafig in a computer with Windows:

You may have Java SDK installed on your computer. If not, go to

http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.2/download-windows.html

to download and install it. It is rather easy to install, but download file is large.

Download the following files:

The readme file might be helpful for intstallation, but you can just skip it.
To install it:

Create a director, say, c:\jfig
Move jfig-classes.zip to c:\jfig. DO NOT UNPACK IT.
Unpack jfig-windows-install.zip and fig2dev-windows.zip to c:\jfig.
Add

set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;c:\path\to\jfig-classes.zip;

to the autoexec.bat file.

set PATH=%PATH%;c:\jfig

to the autoexec.bat file.

Modify the file: jfig.bat in the directory created above to reflect the pathes to jfig and the java engine on your computer.
Reboot the computer, then you can start jfig (javafig) by clicking jfig.bat in c:\jfig.
Once a figure is saved with a name: filename.fig, it can be translated to eps file by fig2dev as follows:

fig2dev -L eps filename.fig filename.eps

From the previous messages the way to convert the PS to PDF is given by the next example.

Say the latex file is:

\documentclass[semhelv,landscape,12pt]{seminar}
\begin{document}
\begin{slide}
A darned slide.
\end{slide}
\end{document}

$ latex test.tex
$ dvips -Ppdf -t landscape test.dvi -o test.ps

After checking http://www.fastlane.nsf.gov/a1/pdfcreat.htm we
use the cammand:

$ ps2pdf -dMaxSubsetPct=100 -dCompatibilityLevel=1.2 \
-dSubsetFonts=true -dEmbedAllFonts=true test.ps test.pdf

$ acroread test.pdf

Now it shows right within acroread! I guess I won't be
needing Corel Office 2000 or StarOffice now :).
