I have an annoying problem. I have a paper to submit to a physics journal which requires that the figures be in eps format. The problem is that I am generating the figure I need using LaTeX commands (using a certain package for drawing quantum algorithms). The figure comes out exactly as I want it in my paper. But now I have to convert this drawing to an eps file and then include it as an eps file. I know how to include eps files, my problem is how to somehow save the figure in eps format.

Any idea?

If that helps, I am using TeXnicCenter with MikTeX on a Windows machine.

Thanks

If you are using Tikz, then it has an externalization library that helps you to export figures to eps. Check the manual (page 399). Some code is also available here.
