NAME

6       figtoipe - Convert FIG figures into Ipe format
7

SYNOPSIS

9       figtoipe [-g] [-p preamble] FIGfile XMLfile
10
11

DESCRIPTION

13       figtoipe  converts  files  in FIG format (as created, e.g., by xfig) to
14       Ipe's XML format.
15
16       figtoipe is not complete.  The main lacking feature is  the  conversion
17       of  splines.   Arc-boxes  are  replaced  by  rectangles.   Feel free to
18       improve this version!
19
20       The drawing models of FIG and Ipe are somewhat different.  Ipe does not
21       support depth ordering independent of grouping, pattern fill, and Post‐
22       script fonts.
23
24       figtoipe tries to include images specified in the XFIG file.  For  JPEG
25       pictures, it tries include the compressed image data into the XML file.
26       For files not recognized as JPEG, anytopnm is  called;  its  output  is
27       compressed  and included in the XML file. Some output of anytopnm might
28       be rejected (e.g. images larger than 5000x5000 pixels or B&W  bitmaps),
29       or misunderstood.
