Normally, psfig will print advisory messages to remind you that it is
including figures as TeX processes a document. This behavior can
be disabled with \pssilent, and re-enabled with
\psnoisy.
Some PostScript figures can take quite a long time to transmit and print;
for these figures a draft mode is available to speed printing of draft
versions of the document. A figure printed in draft mode will appear
as an outlined box (Figure 2). The macro
\psdraft will switch into draft mode, and all subsequent psfig
macros will produce draft figures until reaching the macro
\psfull, which switches out of draft mode.
No
\special commands are used in draft mode, so a draft document
can be previewed using any Dvi viewer. Psfig uses the LaTeX
\fbox command to produce the draft box; thus draft boxes will
not work in plain TeX. The printing of boxes in draft mode can be
disabled/enabled with
\psnodraftbox and
\psdraftbox.
