Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ pstricks eps png files

[kacz]

Hi,

I am a pstricks newbie and sticking with including a picture in a pstricks environement. Usually I create my documents with pdflatex using png files.
Now I wanna like to use pstricks to draw some arrows, lines, ... to my pictures. I read but haven't been able to solve the problem.

Using the tutorial
http://tug.org/PSTricks/main.cgi?file=p ... autopstpdf
enabled to inculde png files and create pstricks pictures (with command pdflatex --shell-escape file.tex) but I fail to combine both.

Would be great if you can give me a hint what has been going wrong! Have no idea!
Thanks!
Cheers, Kacz

\end{pdfpic}
\end{figure}

Seems to be more complicated than it should. Two alternatives: Use Xe(La)TeX, it can process ps natively.

Use TikZ instead of pstricks.
