- NAME
- transfig - creates a makefile for portable LaTeX figures
-
- SYNOPSIS
- transfig [ -L language ] [ -M makefile ] [ -T texfile ] [
- -I macrofile ] [ -V ] [ control_specs figfile ... ] ...]
-
- DESCRIPTION
- Transfig creates a makefile to translate figures described
- in Fig code or PIC into a specified LaTeX graphics lan-
- guage. PIC files are identified by the suffix ".pic"; Fig
- files can be specified either with or without the suffix
- ".fig" . Transfig also creates a TeX macro file appropri-
- ate to the target language.
-
- OPTIONS
- The language specifier must be either epic, eepic, eep-
- icemu, latex, pictex, ps, psfig, pstex, textyl, tpic, or
- null. The specifier psfig is like the ps specifier,
- except that it make use of the psfig macro package. The
- specifier pstex is like psfig, except that it uses LaTeX
- to process formatted (special) text. The specifier null
- results in the figures being replaced by empty boxes of
- the appropriate size. If no language is specified, epic
- is the default.
-
- The names of the makefile and TeX macro file can be set
- with the -M and -T options. The default names are "Make-
- file" and "transfig.tex", respectively. If the -I option
- is specified, then a command to read in macrofile is
- inserted into the TeX macro file. If the -V option
- is specified, the program version number is printed only.
-
- Control specifiers are
-
- -m mag set the magnification at which the figure is ren-
- dered (default 1.0).
-
- -f font
- set the default font family used for text objects
- (default "rm").
-
- -s fontsize
- set the default font size (in points) for text
- objects (default 11*mag).
-
- -o option
- pass the specified option string through to
- fig2dev.
-
- If there is no scaling, the default font is an eleven
- point roman font. Language and control specifiers may
- occur more than once; they affect the translation of files
- which appear to their right in the argument list. If no
