The description of objects in the file will be read at the start of _x_f_i_g. The output from _x_f_i_g can be printed in several ways: PPPPoooossssttttssssccccrrrriiiipppptttt ---- f2ps (_x_f_i_g to _p_o_s_t_s_c_r_i_p_t translator) is used to produce _p_o_s_t_s_c_r_i_p_t from an _x_f_i_g file. This can be sent directly to a postscript printer or a file. TTTTrrrrooooffffffff ---- f2p (_x_f_i_g to _p_i_c(1) translator, also known by its previous name _f_2_f_p(1L)) is used to translate _x_f_i_g files into _p_i_c(1) language. The resulting output may then be processed in the same manner as any other _p_i_c file. Note that area fill is not supported by _f_2_p. NNNNooootttteeee:::: The _f_2_p and _f_2_p_s translators will be eventually phased out because the _T_r_a_n_s_F_i_g package from Micah Beck is a more general purpose translator for more graphics languages. The _T_r_a_n_s_F_i_g package can be used as a back-end processor to xfig to produce various types of output: LaTeX - _f_i_g_2_d_e_v -_L _l_a_t_e_x translates _x_f_i_g to _L_a_T_e_X picture environment commands which can be processed along with other _L_a_T_e_X commands. Postscript - _f_i_g_2_d_e_v -_L _p_s produces a postscript output. Pic - _f_i_g_2_d_e_v -_L _p_i_c produces a pic output. PiCTeX - _f_i_g_2_d_e_v -_L _p_i_c_t_e_x produces _P_i_C_T_e_X output. This contains macros that can be used with the _P_i_C_T_e_X environment under _T_e_X or _L_a_T_e_X. Others - fig2dev has options for these other languages: _b_o_x, _e_p_i_c, _e_e_p_i_c, and _e_e_p_i_c_e_m_u.

The main panel window can be placed to the left or right of the the canvas window (default: left), and the second panel window is always below the message window. It contains buttons for quick access to some of the pop-up menu commands. PPPPOOOOPPPP----UUUUPPPP MMMMEEEENNNNUUUU The pop-up menu appears when the right mouse button is pressed with the cursor positioned within the canvas window. Positioning the cursor over the desired menu entry and releasing the button selects a menu entry. There are a number of file accessing functions in the pop-up menu. Most of the time when one of these functions is selected, the user will be asked for a file name. If the specified file can be located and the access permission are granted, _x_f_i_g will carry out the function. However in case things go wrong, _x_f_i_g will abort the function and printed the causes on the message window. Most of the functions in the pop-up menu can be directly access with the lower button panel. _Q_u_i_t Exit from _x_f_i_g, discarding the figure. The user will be asked to confirm the action, by clicking the left button. _U_n_d_o Undo the last object creation or modification. _R_e_d_i_s_p_l_a_y Redraw the canvas. _R_e_m_o_v_e _a_l_l Remove all objects on the canvas window (can be undone). _C_u_t Select object to copy into the cut/paste file.

The name of the font is printed in the font itself so that one may see what that font looks like. If a corresponding X11 font exists, new text is created on the canvas using that font. _x_f_i_g uses the size of X11 font closest to that selected by the font size button. If the X11 font doesn't exist, _x_f_i_g uses the font selected by the "- normal" option. To abort selection of a font, click on the title of the menu. _F_O_N_T _S_I_Z_E The left button decreases the point size of font used on the canvas and printer. The right button increases the point size. _F_O_N_T _S_T_E_P The left button decreases the interline spacing of text and the right button increases the step.

There are two ways for drawing circles, two for ellipses, two for splines and two for closed splines. There are two basic splines. One is the interpolated spline in which the spline pass thorough the entered points (knots). The other is the normal spline in which on control points are passed by the spline (except for the two end points in the open spline).

Start with the left button and terminate with the middle button. _R_O_U_N_D_E_D-_C_O_R_N_E_R _B_O_X Create rectangular boxes with rounded corners. Start with the left button and terminate with the middle button. The radius of the corners is selected by the INCREASE/DECREASE RADIUS button. _B_R_E_A_K _C_O_M_P_O_U_N_D Break a compound object to allow manipulation of its component parts.

Click the left button on the object and a pop-up menu will appear showing existing settings for the object. Some of the menu entries may be changed by typing new values in the appropriate windows. These allow cut and paste. Others pop up a sub-menu of multiple choices when pressed and held. Press the "done" button to apply the changes to the object and finish. Press the "apply" button to apply the changes but keep the menu up for further changes. Press the "cancel" button to cancel the changes and pop down the menu. _C_I_R_C_L_E Create circles by specifying their radii or diameters. Click the left button on the canvas window, move the cursor until the desired radius or diameter is reached, then click the middle button to terminate. The circle will be drawn after the pressing of the middle button. _C_L_O_S_E_D _I_N_T_E_R_P_O_L_A_T_E_D _S_P_L_I_N_E Create closed or periodic splines. The function is similar to _P_O_L_Y_G_O_N except that a closed interpolated spline is drawn. The spline will pass through the points (knots). _C_L_O_S_E_D _S_P_L_I_N_E Create closed or periodic spline objects. The function is similar to _P_O_L_Y_G_O_N except that a closed spline will be drawn instead of polygon. The entered points are just control points; i.e., the spline will not pass any of these points. _C_O_P_Y Copy object. Click the left button over part of the object to be copied (for _C_I_R_C_L_E and _E_L_L_I_P_S_E objects, position on their circumferences). Drag the object to the desired position and click the middle button. This function as well as the following three functions (_M_O_V_E, _M_O_V_E _P_O_I_N_T, _R_E_M_O_V_E) will cause point markers (manipulation aids) to be shown on the canvas window.

The (approximate) current area fill color is shown in the right-most indicator window. _E_L_L_I_P_S_E Create ellipses using the same procedure as for the drawing of circles.

The current radius is shown in the middle indicator window. _I_N_T_E_R_P_O_L_A_T_E_D _S_P_L_I_N_E Create (cubic spline) spline objects. Enter control vectors in the same way as for creation of a _P_O_L_Y_L_I_N_E object. At least three points (two control vectors) must be entered. The spline will pass through the entered points. _M_O_V_E Move objects in the same way as in _C_O_P_Y. _M_O_V_E _P_O_I_N_T Modify the position of points of _P_O_L_Y_L_I_N_E, _B_O_X, _P_O_L_Y_G_O_N, _E_L_L_I_P_S_E, _A_R_C and _S_P_L_I_N_E objects.

Note that _B_O_X, _R_O_U_N_D_E_D-_C_O_R_N_E_R _B_O_X and _P_O_L_Y_G_O_N objects are internally stored as _P_O_L_Y_L_I_N_E objects, and therefore moving certain points may open these objects. _P_O_L_Y_G_O_N Same as _P_O_L_Y_L_I_N_E except that a line segment is drawn connecting the first and last points entered. _P_O_L_Y_L_I_N_E Create polylines (line segments connecting a sequence of points). Enter points by clicking the left button at the desired positions on the canvas window. Click the middle button to terminate. _R_E_M_O_V_E Remove (or delete) objects.

Enter control vectors in the same way as for creation of a _P_O_L_Y_L_I_N_E object. At least three points (two control vectors) must be entered. The spline will pass only the two end points. _T_E_X_T Create text strings. Click the left button at the desired position on the canvas window, then enter text from the keyboard. Text is drawn using the current font, font size and justification settings. A DEL or ^H (backspace) will delete a character, while a ^U will kill the entire line. Terminate by clicking the middle button or typing the return key. If return is used, the text pointer automatically moves to the next "line", a distance of the font height times the value in the TEXT STEP button, and text input mode is re-entered. To terminate text fully, click the middle button or choose any panel button that changes modes (e.g. box, save, etc). To edit text, click on an existing text string with the left button. Insertion of characters will take place at that point. Or, use the popup change object button to modify the text. _T_U_R_N Turn _P_O_L_Y_G_O_N into a _C_L_O_S_E_D _I_N_T_E_R_P_O_L_A_T_E_D _S_P_L_I_N_E object, or turn _P_O_L_Y_L_I_N_E into a _I_N_T_E_R_P_O_L_A_T_E_D _S_P_L_I_N_E object.

Area fill doesn't show on the canvas for closed splines, but are filled when printed. This has to do with the way the splines are generated on the screen. Undoing the creation of a compound object deletes the objects outside the compound object. Undoing the undo doesn't bring them back. Undoing a move-point of a box or arc-box will corrupt the object. Ellipses which are too narrow are not drawn correctly. SSSSEEEEEEEE AAAALLLLSSSSOOOO Brian W.
