The packages in the LATEX graphics bundle (color.sty,
graphics.sty, graphicx.sty, ...) make extensive use of
\special commands. PyX defines a clean set of such
commands to fit the needs of the LATEX graphics bundle. This is done via the
pyx.def driver file, which tells the graphics bundle about the syntax
of the \special commands as expected by PyX. You can
install the driver file pyx.def into your LATEX search path and add
the content of both files color.cfg and graphics.cfg to your
personal configuration files.3.1 After you have installed the
cfg files, please use the text module with unset
pyxgraphics keyword argument which will switch off a convenience hack
for less experienced LATEX users. You can then import the LATEX graphics
bundle packages and related packages (e.g. rotating, ...) with the
option pyx,
e.g. \usepackage[pyx]{color,graphicx}. Note that the
option pyx is only available with unset pyxgraphics keyword
argument and a properly installed driver file. Otherwise, omit the
specification of a driver when loading the packages.
When you define colors in LATEX via one of the color models gray, cmyk, rgb, RGB, hsb, then PyX will use the corresponding values (one to four real numbers). In case you use any of the named colors in LATEX, PyX will use the corresponding predefined color (see module color and the color table at the end of the manual). The additional LATEX color model pyx allows to use a PyX color expression, such as color.cmyk(0,0,0,0) directly in LaTeX. It is passed to PyX.
When importing Encapsulated PostScript files (eps files) PyX will rotate, scale and clip your file like you expect it. Other graphic formats can not be imported via the graphics package at the moment.
For reference purpose, the following specials can be handled by PyX at the moment:
