printing - printing scilab graphics

CALLING SEQUENCE
Blatexpr xscale yscale filename.ps
BEpsf filename.ps
Blpr "Title" filename1.ps filename2.ps ... filenamen.ps | lpr

DESCRIPTION
The scilab graphics can be saved with the xbasimp command into unix files. The scilab command :
	xbasimp(xx,'des.ps',0)
will save the graphics recorded in the graphic window xx in the file des.ps.xx. This file can't be directly send to a Postscript printer and a set of programs ( in the bin scilab directory ) are given with Scilab to print it :

BEpsf
    : The BEpsf command will create an Epsf file from your des.ps.xx under the name des.epsf, this Epsf file can be printed on a Postscript printer or inserted into an other Postscript document.

Blatexpr
    : The Blatexpr command will create an Epsf file from your des.ps.xx
      mv des.ps.xx des.ps
      Blatexpr 1.0 1.0 des.ps
     under the name des.epsf and a LaTeX file des.tex. The file des.tex can be inserted in a LaTeX file in order to get the latex figure as follows ( the postscript file is inserted with the special command of LaTeX )
    	input des.tex
    	essin{caption}{label}

Blpr
    : The Blpr command is used to print a set of graphics on a same sheet of paper. For example to print two graphics on a unique page, one can use :
    Blpr "Two graphics" file1.ps.0 file2.ps.1 | lpr

Blatexprs
    : The Blatexprs command is used to insert in a single LaTeX figure a set of Scilab Graphics
    Blatexprs res file1.ps.0 file2.ps.1
    will create two files res.ps and res.tex. The file res.tex is used as in the Blatexpr command in order to get the figure.
