PlanetPhysics/OpenOffice Graphics on PlanetPhysics

For generating graphics from OpenOffice, create a new drawing, insert equations and arrows, etc. Right click and select Page Setup. **IMPORTANT** make sure you change the margins to zero and the width and height to a be just bigger than the drawing, otherwise you can get weird stuff in the page image mode. Then save as odg (good to upload this to PlanetPhysics also) and then export and select eps. Next usepackage graphicx in the preamble

\begin{figure}[h] \centering \includegraphics{OOfigure.eps}

\centerline{Figure 1: Latex/eps and OpenOffice} (1) \end{figure}

The greatest advantage of OpenOffice is the ease of adding equations to the figure. The downside is the graphics take a lot of fine-tuning and do not look the greatest in html mode for some reason...
