If you're using Latex to create presentations, you may find yourself
wanting to create a diagram on a page, which would be easy in Powerpoint
or the OpenOffice presentation program. To do this in Latex, you can
create such a diagram in Powerpoint or OpenOffice and export to pdf
and then insert that in your Latex file as a figure.
Here are the steps in OpenOffice:
- create the diagram
- use the font, 'standard symbols L' to get greek letters
- print to a file, saving as a ps file (exporting to ps doesn't give
good resolution and printing to pdf seems to not produce a legit file
in the version of OpenOffice I have been using)
- ps2pdf to convert to pdf
- insert in your Latex file as any standard pdf
