Using the package epsf

• using the macro to import a ps file:
  %%This macro was based on the application InstantTeX Picture.
\newcommand {\PICTURE}[2]{
\let\picnaturalsize=N
\def\picsize {#1}
\def\picfilename{#2}
\ifx\nopictures Y\else{\ifx\epsfloaded Y\else\input epsf \fi
\let\epsfloaded=Y
\centerline{\ifx\picnaturalsize N\epsfxsize \picsize\fi \epsfbox{\picfilename}}}\fi
}

• Here is an example:
  \newcommand {\PICTURE}[2]{
\let\picnaturalsize=N
\def\picsize {#1}
\def\picfilename{#2}
\ifx\nopictures Y\else{\ifx\epsfloaded Y\else\input epsf \fi
\let\epsfloaded=Y
\centerline{\ifx\picnaturalsize N\epsfxsize \picsize\fi \epsfbox{\picfilename}}}\fi
}

\begin{document}

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% PICTURE %%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\begin{figure}[htbp]
\PICTURE{2.0in}{b_new.ps}
\caption{ Here comes the caption.}
\label{example1}
\end{figure}
