FIG 1.4 Release 2
Added features:
===============
1) Interpolated spline (open and close).
2) Dotted line style.
3) Blinking vertical bar cursor for entering character string in
canvas and message window.
4) Character strings editing feature both in entering text objects
and file names in message window (by relocating the blinking cursor
within the string).
5) F2ps (fig to postscript filter). Although dashed and dotted line
style are not rendered as such on the screen for objects other than
polylines, the objects on hard copy produced with f2ps will be
rendered with the line style under which the objects are created
in fig.
Changes:
========
1) Output format (ref: FORMAT1.4). However fig 1.4 and its associated
filters (f2p and f2ps) can read fig 1.3 format but fig 1.4 will only
create output in the new format.
2) Format of bitmap is now conform to the "iconedit" format (The first two
lines are comment lines indicating the width, height, etc. Each short
word (16 bits) is followed by a comma except the last one.). Here is
an example of the comment lines.
/* Format_version=1, Width=33, Height=6, Depth=1, Valid_bits_per_item=16
*/
A row of bitmap is multiple of sixteen bits; however its actual width
(in "Width=..") may be not.
The only exception to the format is that text objects which are not part
of any compound are appended to the end of the file. They provide a
way to locate point on the bitmap.
Customizable characteristics:
============================
1) The fonts used in fig are expected to reside in the
directory /usr/lib/fonts/fixedwidthfonts. If the fonts in
your system are not under the name directory, appropriate
changes should be made in file font.c.
2) The size of fig can be changed by modifying two constants
in file "const.h", namely CANVAS_WIDTH and CANVAS_HEIGHT.
