In Xfig you should put all your formulas between dollar signs. Then, follow

Generally, you will not want to change the file name. But there is an

In this scenario, you may want to edit the image file name to use a

When an image is included, you will not want to edit the raw data

Width and height

The width and height of an image can be specified using any length

unit or a special "zoom factor" syntax. If either one is ommited (left

empty), the other dimension is inferred by preserving the aspect ratio

For more informatio about lengh units see chapter [?].

One especially useful length unit here, at least when dealing with

The "zoom factor" syntax allows to specify a rational multiplicator to

Cropping

In some situations, you may want texmacs to perform some cropping over
