another nice benefit of TeX: pdf output!

I just discovered epstopdf, which comes bundled with TeTeX-3. It's a really
nice tool for making embeddable pdf files from our TeX-enhanced eps output.

Can anyone tell me if epstopdf is included with MiKTeX? If so, I'll mention it
on the wiki.

Yes, epstopdf is included with MiKTeX.

Darren,

   I cannot answer your question. However, .eps is readily accepted in LaTeX
(and LyX) using \includefigure{name.eps}. You can use pdflatex to compile it
into a .pdf output file. You an also \includefigure{name.pdf} and use pdf4 to
view and compile it into .pdf output.

   Don't know how this would work with mpl, but with PSTricks I use ps4pdf to
produce output.

HTH,

Rich
