The important one is latex+eps: it makes an eps file with the 
trace-data, and overlays it with a LaTeX picture environment for axis 
labels. Nice combination, although the module could use some work: it 
uses some outdated commands, especially for the eps inclusion (not easy 
to turn into pdf + LaTeX picture).

Once you have a template, it is good. Getting the template is a 
different problem.
