INSTALLATION:
 - call 'latex makeplot.ins' and copy the makeplot.sty - file into
   a path searched by LaTeX.

DOCUMENTATION:
 - execute the following list of commands to create the PDF:
		latex makeplot.dtx
		makeindex -s gind.ist -o makeplot.ind makeplot.idx
		makeindex -s gglo.ist -o makeplot.gls makeplot.glo
		latex makeplot.dtx
		pdflatex makeplot.dtx
		

Writing papers, it is very normal that the result of some
Matlab simulations will be displayed. Since existing approaches
to create EPS files from matlab (laprint, print -eps,...) does
not satisfy all my requirements of fonts, quality, portability and
to be able to perform fast small changes, I decided to create this
package which could be seen as an extension to the PsTricks family.

This package creates easily plots taking the data from files, and allows
enough configuration to fit most of the cases. In the documentation it is
described the requirements of the data files and how to generate EPS files
from Matlab.

Files of the `makeplot' package:
  README          This file
  makeplot.dtx    Sourcecode, example file & documentation
  makeplot.ins    Installation script generating the source and an example
  makeplot.pdf    PDF Version of the documentation
  data1.mat
  data2.mat       Data files for the example. They could be generated
                  using the dtx but I don't know how to avoid '\endinput'
                  at the end
