% These macros are for use with LaTex running within the Textures environment.
% They permit the use of a scaled MacPaint drawing within the LaTex figure environment.
% I keep them in a separate file "picmacs.tex" and then include or input that file into a document.
% The usage is as follows:

%      \begin{figure}
%      \centerpicture dimension1 by dimension2 (picturename scaled scalefactor)
%      \caption{captiontext}
%      \label{uniquekeyword}
%      \end{figure}

% where dimension1 and dimension2 are (actual) measurements from the picture window,
%             picturename is the name of the picture from the picture window,
%             scalefactor is an integer scaling factor (e.g.,1000 = full size, 500 = half size),
%             captiontext is whatever text you wish to appear as the figure's caption, and
%             uniquekeyword is a keyword distinct from all others in the document, permitting
%                you to reference this figure using the "\ref{uniquekeyword}" command.

% Thanks to  Jack Kuipers and Textures for doing the groundwork.                        - Joel C. Adams

% An alternative technique is to define a newcommand for each picture (in the preamble), and
% then give that command within the figure environment, in place of the "\centerpicture...".
