Convert xypic matrix to eps. (LaTeX)

I have a lot of BIG xypic-matrices in my LaTeX file for one of my papers, and it takes long/infinite time to compile. Is there a way to convert just the separate xypic-pieces to eps files, that I include in my main document?

I suppose I use LaTeX to compile the xypic part, but then I will get an entire document, right?

(Can someone add the tag xypic to this question?)

Update: The solution I came up with was to have separate LaTeX documents for each xymatrix, and then use dvips -E to capture the figure. I created a script for Compiling + Create eps in Kile, the editor I use.

Solution

  • Use latex to compile, then a

    dvips -E -o temp.eps temp.dvi

    to make an eps out of it, then epscrop to make a small eps you can include later.
