\slidetitle{Diagrams}

\begin{itemize}
\item LATEX has very primitive ``picture'' environment -
Better to embed postscript diagrams.
\item Use {\tt xfig} to create (encapsulated) postscript figure file -
(export to create {\tt fig.ps}, or {\tt fig.eps}).
\item Add psfig option

\begin{verbatim}
\usepackage{psfig} % in preamble section
 .
\begin{figure}
   \psfig{figure=fig.ps,width=0.9\textwidth}
\end{figure}
\end{verbatim}
\end{itemize}

\begin{slide}
\slidetitle{Diagrams (cont.)}

\item Embed encapsulated postscript file

      \epsfxsize 200pt
      \leavevmode \epsfbox{fig.eps}
