The command
\epsfxsize = 0.5\textwidth
makes the graphic's
width equal to half the value of
\textwidth
. The
y
size of the graphic
will be scaled proportionally. The
epsf
function uses the bounding box
comment in the .eps file to determine the size of the graphic.
The final (PostScript) output can be previewed on the screen
using previewing software such as PageView (Sun), Ghostview, or
GNU Ghostscript (multiplatform freeware).

explanatory text, arrows, etc. from within PowerPoint, use the bitmap
format.
