What were you trying to do?
Hi, I have been trying to export an xfigure
to a PiCTeX file, but it is seems to be that
latex gets stuck when the figure contains text.
What's wrong:
The message produced by latex is as follows:
(unnamed.pictex
! Missing number, treated as zero.
<to be read again>
@
...
l.37 \endpicture}
What should have happened:
No error messages !!
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
