[texhax] Punctuation around inline diagrams

[Andy Farnell]

The code for the image include is;

% Graphics include for inline objects
\newcommand{\pdobj}[1]{%
\raisebox{-1pt}{\enspace\includegraphics[angle=0, scale=0.6]%
{./images/objects/#1.ps}}}

Elsewhere I use it as;

Finally we'll use differentiation with \pdobj{object-sd-fexpr} 
and \pdobj{object-sd-clip} to get changes that are positive. 
Modulating the sine wave by the output of \pdobj{object-sd-tm} 

The initial space seemed necessary to stop the objects being
too close to the preceding text. I should mention that the
objects are not fixed width, some are considerably wider than
others.

Thankyou.

Andy
