[Mac OS X TeX] labelling graphics using TeXShop/Illustrator

[Hemant Bhargava]

<x-flowed>I use psfrag too -- haven't come across anything I couldn't do with it. 
(psfrag allows you to replace "labels" in the graphics file with arbitrary 
LaTeX commands.) And the beauty of it is that you are in LaTeX all the time.
