Hi,

I want to draw a graph which has two sine waves one below
the other. ie. same y axis but different x axes. I want the sine waves
zero crossing points to be joined by a vertical dotted line.

Could you suggest the most appropriate tool for doing this?

Thanking you,

Suresh

Look at `gnuplot', which generates eps and LaTeX output and much more.

Or mfpic, which creates Metafont files for drawing figure.

The solution I use for these kinds of jobs is to:

1) Draw the figure in Matlab/gnuplot.
2) Print it as an EPS.
3) Convert it to fig format using pstoedit (available on the net).
4) Give the figure the final finish in xfig.
5) Export it in ps/latex format.

If you have a drawing program like CorelDraw you could read the EPS
figure into that.
