<tmdoc-title|Inserting images>
You can include images in the text using the menu <menu|Insert|Image>.
Currently, <TeXmacs> recognizes the <verbatim|ps>, <verbatim|eps>,
<verbatim|tif>, <verbatim|pdf>, <verbatim|pdm>, <verbatim|gif>,
<verbatim|ppm>, <verbatim|xpm> and <verbatim|fig> file formats. Here,
<verbatim|gs> (i.e. <name|Ghostscript>) is used to render postscript
images. If <name|Ghostscript> has not yet been installed on your system,
you can download this package from\
<\verbatim>
\ \ \ \ www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/index.html
</verbatim>
Currently, the other file formats are converted into postscript files using
the scripts <verbatim|tiff2ps>, <verbatim|pdf2ps>, <verbatim|pnmtops>,
<verbatim|giftopnm>, <verbatim|ppmtogif>, <verbatim|xpmtoppm>. If these
scripts are not available on your system, please contact your system
administrator.
By default, images are displayed at their design sizes and aligned at their
bottom lines. Alternative widths, heights and alignment offsets may be
specified in the image chooser dialogue window.\
<\itemize>
<item>When specifying a new width, but no height at the prompt (or vice
versa), the image is resized so as to preserve the aspect ration. For
instance, entering a width of <verbatim|1par> will make the image span
over the entire paragraph width and adjust the height proportionally.
You may use <verbatim|w> and <verbatim|h> as special lengths for the
default width and height of the image. For instance, specifying
<verbatim|2w> and <verbatim|2h> for the width and the height, the image
will be displayed at twice its default size.
<item>When specifying an alternative alignment, you may use the
<verbatim|w> and <verbatim|h> lengths for the displayed width and height
(<abbr|i.e.> <verbatim|w> and <verbatim|h> no longer stand for the
default width and height). For instance, using <verbatim|-0.5h> for the
<math|y>-offset will vertically align the image at its center.
</itemize>
We also included a script to convert <name|Xfig> pictures, with optional
<LaTeX> formulas in it, into encapsulated postscript. In order to include a
<LaTeX> formula in an <verbatim|xfig> picture, we recall you should enter
the formula as text, while selecting a <LaTeX> font and setting the special
flag in the text flags.
