Short: Xfig v1.6 - a structured drawing tool. 020+ & MUI (demo)
Author: Ken Yap/Brian Smith and others/ Terje Pedersen(Amiga part)
Uploader: terjepe@stud.cs.uit.no
Type: gfx/edit
This is an Amiga port of an X11 structured drawing tool that lets the user
interactiely create and manipulate on objects such as lines/circles
rectangles/splines/text and other elements.
Xfig can produce output in several different formats: Encapsulated PostScript,
IBM-GL (HP/GL), Pic, PiCTeX, LaTeX, box, epic, eepic, eepicemu, textyl, tpic, X11 Bitmap,
X11 Pixmap and gif.
This is the support part of the program. Examples and docs are in xfig_docs.lha
and a binary is found in xfig6.lha (or higher). These files are primarily
for those who intend to get a save/print/export enabled version as these
files handle the conversion from a fig file to other formats. But you
can use them to convert the fig files in the xfig_docs archive into postscript
(or other formats) to check the quality of the output.
SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS
Amigas with 68020+ OS3.0+ and MUI 2.0+, and a big Workbench (640x400 minimum) is needed.
Also 4 mb of ram may come in handy..
HISTORY:
1.6
Updated the program to the latest X11 version 3.1.4. (lots of improvements..)
Compressed images (.Z or .gz) are uncomressed with uncompress or gunzip.
In order to help GIF into obscurity it has been removed..and replaced with iff.
Added the xpm output format.
1 bitplane text/images didn't get the correct color in output to image-files.
Added support for datatypes loading of images.
Added dr2d import. (only outline)
Improved cursor handling.
Setenv's are gone (except 'X11HOME') and replaced with entries in AmigaDefaults.
Images/rotated text problems with gfx cards hopefully fixed.
Added a missing 'size' option in loading of images.
The background color now actually controls the background color..
1.5
When cancel was pressed when saving the drawing was saved anyway as 'unnamed.fig'.
When exiting the current directory wasn't the one at startup.
File operations always started from 'ram:'.
Rotated text is now visible as text when moving.
'point position' would crash with 'any' selected. It has also been moved to 'other'.
'zoom scale' changed into a string gadget.
File requester ended up on workbench and not the current public screen.
The grid and side ruler almost worked properly..(but was in fact 0/1 pixel off)
Editing objects and changing to another object to edit didn't work.
Zooming didn't remove the old rulermarks.
Less clipping should make it more stable.
Right mousebutton in canvas is now always reserved for xfig. (makes zoom-out work)
Zooming of filled objects will turn off filling when the size excedes the size of
the drawing area. (instead of using a huge amount of chip mem)
1.4
Saving works better (for those who can..)
Better handling of fonts.
A lot of clipping may have caused the program to freeze sometimes.
The grid what 1 pixel off and the sideruler marker was somewhat more off..
Arrow toggles in edit windows were missing.
Extreme sizing of canvas with filled objects improved somewhat.
Somewhat improved resource handling.
Better handling of images. Now ObtainBestPen is used inside the library when
there aren't any free colors left.
Accidentaly noticed the zoom icon when by pressing ctrl..and did some changes to
make it work.
