i do: \includegraphics[figure]{figure.pdf}, and the figure appears to be
sitting on a black background in a pdflatex/foiltex-generated pdf. is
this in fact called a 'background'? can this color be manipulated?
i'm using Red Hat 9.0 pdflatex version: 3.14159-14h-released-20010417,
foiltex version 2.1.4a
