Xifg is really useful for producing graphics which also contain some
LaTeX formulas fonts etc. The following picture was
put together using Xfig.
1. Open xfig and when you add text, you'll see a button for
"text flags" - inside it, set "special flags" to "special".
Then type latex symbols in maths mode, eg $\lambda$ etc.
2. Export the .fig file using the "file" -> "export" menu
and choose "Combined pslatex (both parts)". This saves two
files: filename.pstex and filename.pstex_t. Finally input
the filename.pstex_t into your .tex file:

\begin{figure}[htp]
\centering
\input{filename.pstex_t}
\end{figure}

The package psfrag offers an other alternative. However it
can be a bit messy to use.
