Yes. backend_latex writes this command to the .tex file, hopefully to guide=

users on how to scale their images:

\scalebox{1}{\includegraphics{<myfile.eps>}}

I'm guessing TeX will meet most layout needs. For example, I just discovere=
d=20
the \over command, which will generate fractions in TeX and LaTeX. \frac on=
ly=20
works for LaTeX. I will make tex/latex an rc param if you want. Let me know.
