TeX and graphics : The State of the Problem
Cahiers GUTenberg, no. 2 (1989), pp. 13-53.

Inclusion of graphics in documents typeset by TeX is not yet a satisfactorily solved problem, and no final general solution is in sight.

This paper surveys alternatives for insertion of graphics in TeX documents. It summarizes graphics primitives of several modern software systems, and shows how TeX has seriously deficient support for their direct incorporation in TeX itself.

Several alternatives for the production of graphics at the pre-processing (METAFONT), input (TeX), and post-processing (DVI) stages are considered, and their advantages and disadvantages are analyzed.
