eps file exportation with LaTeX text and symbols

plotepstex(h,FileName,WidthRatioFontSize,Packages)
% PLOTEPSTEX prints an EPS figure for inclusion in LaTeX documents, with
%    LaTeX fonts. It creates a complet eps-file with annotation of the 
%    figure (titles, labels and texts) and graphics (lines,arrows,markers,
%    ...). This function uses the LAPRINT function and makes simply a
%    concatenation of the text part and the graphical part in a single EPS
%    file. It requires:
%
%                  MATLAB        |      OTHER
%               -----------------|----------------------------
%                 laprint.m      |      latex
%                                |      dvips
%                                |      ps2epsi or eps2eps
%                                |      GhostScript
%
%    The diference between ps2epsi and eps2eps is that the first is a 
%    standard EPS converter, but creates very large file size. The commande
%    eps2eps can be replace by ps2epsi at line 191
%    
%    USAGE:
%    ------------------------
%
%    PLOTEPSTEX create the EPS file of the current graphical figure (CGF) 
%    named LaTeXfile.eps
% 
%    PLOTEPSTEX(H) create the EPS file from the graphical figure with 
%    handle H, named LaTeXfile.eps
%    
%    PLOTEPSTEX(H,FILENAME) create the EPS file from the graphical figure 
%    with handle H, named FILENAME.EPS (FILENAME is a character array of
%    the filename, with or without the extension .EPS)
%    
%    PLOTEPSTEX(H,FILENAME,[WIDTH RATIO FONTSIZE]) to impose the width (in 
%    cm), the Ratio length/weigth and the font size of the exported figure.
%    If one of the fields is not to fill, just put the nan value.
%    Example: [10 nan 10] produce a figure with 10cm length with the 
%    ratio as screen desplayed and with a Font size of 10 pts.
%
%    PLOTEPSTEX(H,FILENAME,[WIDTH RATIO FONTSIZE],PACKAGES) to adding
%    packages such as fonts, mathfont,...
%    ex: PACKAGES = 'amsmath, amssymb, times, color'
