Description

XFIG is a menu-driven tool that allows the user to draw and manipulate objects interactively in an X window. It runs under X version 11 release 2 and requires a three-button mouse.

File specifies the name of a file to be edited. The description of objects in the file will be read at the start of XFIG.

Fig2tex (XFIG to PiCTeX translator) produces a PICTEX file from an XFIG file. This file contains macros that can be used with the PICTEX environment under TEX or LATEX.
