Name of contribution: combinedgraphics
Version number: v0.0.2-alpha
Author's name: Christian Schneider
Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/combinedgraphics
Summary description: macro for inclusion of combined EPS/LaTeX and PDF/LaTeX graphics
License type: gpl

Announcement text: 
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This package provides a macro (|\includecombinedgraphics|) for the
inclusion of combined EPS/LaTeX and PDF/LaTeX graphics (an export
format of Gnuplot, Xfig, and maybe other programs).  Instead of including
the graphics with a simple |\input|, the |\includecombinedgraphics| macro
has some comforts:

* changing the font and color of the text of the LaTeX part
* rescaling the graphics without affecting the font of the
LaTeX part
* automatic inclusion of the vector graphics part, as far as LaTeX
  part does not do it (e.g., for files exported from Gnuplot before
  version 4.2)
* rescaling and rotating of complete graphics (similar to
    |\includegraphics| from graphicx package)

See `combinedgraphics.pdf' for detailed information on usage.
