It isn't terribly hard, but can be a bit of a pain.  I've stuck a rather
dated piece of LaTeX code for your use below.  It is a kind of minimum
LaTeX document with the image being the sole contents.  Converting it to
use the more modern Graphics package rather than psfig is left as an
excercise <wink>.

You'll need to use the graphics package so that the image doesn't have to
be in postscript form.
