Figures

Zipped PostScript files, per book part--- large files--- or per chapter--- smaller files.

ALL FIGURE FILES ARE AVAILABLE. The file names are in the figx-y.ps form.

Tips on using the PostScript figures to make presentation slides

The PS figures are formatted as Embedded PostScript (EPS), though they have the generic .ps extension.

Latex Slides

• You may embed the PS files in the usual way, using the epsf commands, and may build slides with text and figures together

Power Point Slides

• You may embed a PS file in a PPT file, using the  Insert > Picture > From File command, and may build slides with text and figures together.

• For space reasons, the PS files do not have preview, thus you will not be able to see the figure on screen unless you have Office PPT 2002 or greater. But you can print the PPT slides on plastic for overhead projection.

• If you want to project the slides from a PC screen or video beamer, you have two options:

  a) Open the PS figure you want to use in Ghostview, and insert a high quality preview, using the Edit > Add EPS Preview command. We advise Windows Metafile. Then you can insert it in the PPT file, and see it on screen/beamer.

  b) Distill the whole PPT file to PDF using an appropriate tool (e.g. Adobe Distiller), and then exhibit the PDF file from a PDF reader, in full screen, page by page.

  c) Distill the PS figure to PDF, JPG or PNG, using an appropriate tool. Then you can insert it in the PPT file, and see it on screen/beamer. This is the best quality option, but you need a graphics processing tool.
