13 Transfig creates a makefile to translate figures described in Fig code
14 or PIC into a specified LaTeX graphics language. PIC files are identi‐
15 fied by the suffix ".pic"; Fig files can be specified either with or
16 without the suffix ".fig" . Transfig also creates a TeX macro file
17 appropriate to the target language.
18
20 The language specifier must be one of box, cgm, eepic, eepicemu, emf,
21 epic, eps, ge, gif, ibmgl, jpeg, latex, map, mf, mmp, mp, pcx, pdf,
22 pdftex, pdftex_t, pic, pictex, png, ppm, ps, psfig, pstex, pstex_t,
23 ptk, sld, textyl, tiff, tk, tpic, xbm, xpm or null. The specifier
24 psfig is like the ps specifier, except that it make use of the psfig
25 macro package. The specifier pstex is like psfig, except that it uses
26 LaTeX to process formatted (special) text. The specifier null results
27 in the figures being replaced by empty boxes of the appropriate size.
28 If no language is specified, epic is the default.
29 The names of the makefile and TeX macro file can be set with the -M and
31 -T options. The default names are "Makefile" and "transfig.tex",
32 respectively. If there is already an existing makefile in the direc‐
33 tory, transfig first renames it to makefile~. The same holds for any
34 existing TeX macro file. If the -I option is specified, then a command
35 to read in macrofile is inserted into the TeX macro file. If the
36 -V option is specified, the program version number is printed only.
37 Control specifiers are
39 -m mag set the magnification at which the figure is rendered (default
41 1.0).
42 -f font
44 set the default font family used for text objects (default
45 "rm").
46 -s fontsize
48 set the default font size (in points) for text objects (default
49 11*mag).
50 -o option
52 pass the specified option string through to fig2dev.
53 If there is no scaling, the default font is an eleven point roman font.
55 Language and control specifiers may occur more than once; they affect
56 the translation of files which appear to their right in the argument
57 list. If no files are specified, then "*.fig" is assumed.
