-
- >>> It is important for users of xfig 2.1.5 to get this latest version of
- TransFig.
-
- TransFig is a set of tools for creating TeX documents with graphics
- which are portable, in the sense that they can be printed in a wide
- variety of environments.
-
- The transfig directory contains the source for the transfig command
- which generates a Makefile which translates Fig code to various graphics
- description languages using the fig2dev program. In previous releases,
- this command was implemented as a shell script.
-
- The fig2dev directory contains a general program for translating from
- Fig code to other graphics desciption languages. The dev subdirectory
- contains a library of output drivers used by fig2dev.
-
- Drivers currently exist for the following graphics langauges:
- (E)EPIC macros, LaTeX picture environment, PIC, PiCTeX, PostScript, and TeXtyl.
- Fig2dev can be configured with a subset of these drivers
-
-
- I have taken over the maintenance of TransFig from Micah Beck so please send any
- bug notices, fixes, contributions etc to me at bvsmith@lbl.gov.
