Here's how I include postscript diagrams into my document: the example is
for
a file called glass-h1.ps, which I created as a bar chart from gnuplot.

I say:

\usepackage[dvips]{graphics}
\usepackage{epsfig}

at the start, then

\begin{figure}[h]
\caption{Barchart of data from table~\ref{h1mlp}}
\epsfig{file=software/glass-h1.ps,height=9cm,angle=-90}
\end{figure}

where I want the diagram.
