PSfrag is a LaTeX package that allows one to overlay Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) figures with arbitrary LaTeX constructions, properly aligned, scaled, and rotated. The user has to place a text tag into the EPS file and the corresponding LaTeX construction into the LaTeX file that will include the EPS file.
PostScript (PS) is a page description language and dynamically typed, stack-based programming language.It is most commonly used in the electronic publishing and desktop publishing realm, but as a Turing complete programming language, it can be used for many other purposes as well.
A PostScript file that conforms to DSC is called a conforming document. The need for a structuring convention arises since PostScript is a Turing-complete programming language. There is thus no guaranteed method — short of actually printing the document — to do things like determining how many pages long a given document is or how large a ...
The PostScript Standard Encoding (often spelled StandardEncoding, aliased as PostScript [1]) is one of the character sets (or encoding vectors) used by Adobe Systems' PostScript (PS) since 1984. [2] In 1995, IBM assigned code page 1276 ( CCSID 1276) to this character set.
In this table, parentheses mark letters that stand in for themselves or for another. For instance, a rotated 'b' would be a 'q', and indeed some physical typefaces didn't bother with distinct sorts for lowercase b vs. q, d vs. p, or n vs. u; while a rotated 's' or 'z' would be itself.

A procedure in a stack-based programming language is treated as a data object in its own right. In PostScript, procedures are denoted between {and }. For example, in PostScript syntax, { dup mul } represents an anonymous procedure to duplicate what is on the top of the stack and then multiply the result – a squaring procedure.
PSTricks is only fully compatible with TeX systems using PostScript intermediates, including but not limited to eTeX and others. However, it is not compatible with the widely used pdfTeX engine in PDF mode. As pdfTeX is the default engine in most current installations, users of PSTricks must either force pdfTeX to DVI mode or use auto-pst-pdf.
