Martin,

I am sorry, I did forget that (oh, those dark times....)


With your LaTeX distribution comes a tool called --epstopdf--. You can use it to convert EPS files into PDF.

Another option is to use the epstopdf package. You include it in your .tex document and it calls the epstopdf program at runtime -- which is quite convenient if you have a lot of graphs in your document.

Hope this was more helpful this time...
Daniel





This -as(pdf)- is not available to the poor Windows user :-(

Or you can export directly to PDF (--as(pdf)--), which gives perfect
results when using with pdflatex.

Best,
Daniel



Martin,

To obtain good quality with pdflatex I export as eps and convert to
pdf, using a command like:

graph export "box.eps", as(eps) preview(off) replace

Then I use:

\begin{figure}[b]
\includegraphics[viewport=0 0 500 500]{box.pdf}
\caption{Boxplots of shares and prices}
\label{fig:box}
\end{figure}

in my LaTeX source.

Dear Listers,

I am wondering whether there is a way to improve on the poor
performance
that png graphs achieve when compiled with pdflatex. Does anyone
know which
graph type (must be available in Stata 10) performs better in this
respect?
I am not fussy when it comes to such issues but what I currently
get is not
really presentable...


Thanxx in advance,
Martin Weiss
