6 fig2dev - translates Fig code to various graphics languages
7
10 fig2dev -L language [ -m mag ] [ -f font ] [ -s fsize ] [ other options
11 ] [ fig-file [ out-file ] ]
12
15 Fig2dev translates fig code in the named fig-file into the specified
16 graphics language and puts them in out-file. The default fig-file and
17 out-file are standard input and standard output, respectively
18 Xfig (Facility for Interactive Generation of figures) is a screen-ori‐
20 ented tool which runs under the X Window System, and allows the user to
21 draw and manipulate objects interactively. This version of fig2dev is
22 compatible with xfig versions 1.3, 1.4, 2.0, 2.1, 3.0, 3.1 and 3.2.
23 Xfig version 3.2.3 and later saves and allows the user to edit comments
25 for each Fig object. These comments are output with several of the
26 output languages, such as PostScript, CGM, EMF, LaTeX, MetaFont,
27 PicTeX, (as % comments), tk (as # comments), and pic (as .\" comments).
28
31 -L language
32 Set the output graphics language. Valid languages are box, cgm,
33 epic, eepic, eepicemu, emf, eps, gif, ibmgl, jpeg, latex, map
34 (HTML image map), mf (MetaFont), mp (MetaPost), mmp (Multi-Meta‐
35 Post), pcx, pdf, pdftex, pdftex_t, pic, pictex, png, ppm, ps,
36 pstex, pstex_t, ptk (Perl/tk), shape (LaTeX shaped paragraphs),
37 sld (AutoCad slide format), svg (beta driver), textyl, tiff, tk
38 (tcl/tk), tpic, xbm and xpm.
39 Notes:
41 dvips and xdvi must be compiled with the tpic support (-DTPIC)
42 for epic, eepic and tpic to work.
43 You must have ghostscript and ps2pdf, which comes with the
44 ghostscript distribution to get the pdf output and the bitmap
45 formats (png, jpeg, etc.), and the netpbm (pbmplus) package to
46 get gif, xbm, xpm, and sld output.
47 -h Print help message with all options for all output languages
50 then exit.
51 -V Print the program version number and exit.
54 -D +/-rangelist
57 With +rangelist, keep only those depths in the list. With
58 -rangelist, keep all depths except those in the list. The range‐
59 list may be a list of comma-separated numbers or ranges sepa‐
60 rated by colon (:). For example, -D +10,40,55:70,80 means keep
61 only layers 10, 40, 55 through 70, and 80.
62 -K The selection of the depths with the '-D +/-rangelist' option
65 does normally not affect the calcualtion of the bounding box.
66 Thus the generated document might have a much larger bounding
67 box than necessary. If -K is given then the bounding box is
68 adjusted to include only those objects in the selected depths.
69 -f font
72 Set the default font used for text objects to font. The default
73 is Roman; the format of this option depends on the graphics lan‐
74 guage in use. In TeX-based languages, the font is the base of
75 the name given in lfonts.tex, for instance "cmr" for Roman, or
76 "tt" for teletype. In PostScript, it is any font name known to
77 the printer or interpreter.
78 -G minor[:major][:unit]
81 Draws a grid on the page. Specify thin, or thin and thick line
82 spacing in one of several units. For example, "-G .25:1cm"
83 draws a thin, gray line every .25 cm and a thicker gray line
84 every 1 cm. Specifying "-G 1in" draws a thin line every 1 inch.
85 Fractions may be used, e.g. "-G 1/16:1/2in" will draw a thin
86 line every 1/16 inch (0.0625 inch) and a thick line every 1/2
87 inch.
88 Allowable units are: i, in, inch, f, ft, feet, c, cm, mm, and m.
89 Only allowed for PostScript, EPS, PDF, and bitmap (GIF, JPEG,
90 etc) drivers for now.
91 -j Enable the I18N internationalization facility.
94 -m mag Set the magnification at which the figure is rendered to mag.
97 The default is 1.0. This may not be used with the maxdimension
98 option (-Z).
99 -s size
102 Set the default font size (in points) for text objects to fsize.
103 The default is 11*mag, and thus is scaled by the -m option. If
104 there is no scaling, the default font is eleven point Roman."
105 -Z maxdimension
108 Scale the figure so that the maximum dimension (width or height)
109 is maxdimension inches or cm, depending on whether the figure
110 was saved with imperial or metric units. This may not be used
111 with the magnification option (-m).
112 other options
115 The other options are specific to the choice of graphics lan‐
116 guage, as described below.
117
120 CGM is Computer Graphics Metafile, developed by ISO and ANSI and is a
121 vector-based plus bitmap language. Microsoft WORD, PowerPoint and
122 probably other products can import this format and display it on the
123 screen, something that they won't do with EPS files that have an ASCII
124 preview.
125 -b dummyarg
127 Generate binary output (dummy argument required after the "-b").
128 -r Position arrowheads for CGM viewers that display rounded arrow‐
131 heads. Normally, arrowheads are pointed, so fig2dev compensates
132 for this by moving the endpoint of the line back so the tip of
133 the arrowhead ends where the original endpoint of the line was.
134 If the -r option is used, the position of arrows will NOT be
135 corrected for compensating line width effects, because the
136 rounded arrowhead doesn't extend beyond the endpoint of the
137 line.
138
141 EMF is Enhanced Metafile, developed by Microsoft and is a vector-based
142 plus bitmap language. Microsoft WORD, PowerPoint and probably other
143 products can import this format and display it on the screen, something
144 that they won't do with EPS files that have an ASCII preview.
145
148 EPIC is an enhancement to LaTeX picture drawing environment. It was
149 developed by Sunil Podar of Department of Computer Science in S.U.N.Y
150 at Stony Brook.
151 EEPIC is an extension to EPIC and LaTeX picture drawing environment
153 which uses tpic specials as a graphics mechanism. It was written by
154 Conrad Kwok of Division of Computer Science at University of Califor‐
155 nia, Davis.
156 EEPIC-EMU is an EEPIC emulation package which does not use tpic spe‐
158 cials.
159 -A factor
162 Scale arrowheads by factor. The width and height of arrowheads
163 is divided by this factor. This is because EPIC arrowheads are
164 normally about double the size of TeX arrowheads.
165 -E num Set encoding for text translation (0 = none, 1 = ISO-8859-1, 2 =
168 ISO-8859-2)
169 -F Don't set the font face, series, and style; only set it's size
172 and the baselineskip. By default, fig2dev sets all 5 font param‐
173 eters when it puts some text. The disadvantage is that you can't
174 set the font from your LaTeX document. With this option on, you
175 can set the font from your LaTeX document (like "\sfshape \input
176 picture.eepic").
177 If any of the pictures included in your LaTeX document has been
179 generated with -F, then all pictures must be generated with this
180 option.
181 This option can be used only when fig2dev was compiled with NFSS
183 defined.
184 -l width
187 Use "\thicklines" when width of the line is wider than lwidth.
188 The default is 2.
189 -P Generate a complete LaTeX file. In other words, the output file
192 can be formatted without requiring any changes. The additional
193 text inserted in the beginning and at the end of the file is
194 controlled by the configuration parameter "Preamble" and "Post‐
195 amble".
196 -R Allow rotated text. Rotated text will be set using the \rotate‐
199 box command. So, you will need to include "\usepackage{graph‐
200 ics}" in the preamble of your LaTeX document.
201 If this option is not set, then rotated text will be set hori‐
203 zontally.
204 -S scale
208 Set the scale to which the figure is rendered. This option
209 automatically sets the magnification and size to scale / 12 and
210 scale respectively.
211 -t stretch
214 Set the stretch factor of dashed lines to sretch. The default
215 is 30.
216 -v Include comments in the output file.
219 -W Enable variable line width. By default, only two line widths
222 are available: The normal line width (hinlines), and thick lines
223 (hicklines), if a line width of more than one is selected in
224 xfig.
225 -w Disable variable line width. Only "\thicklines" and/or "\thin‐
228 lines" commands will be generated in the output file.
229 When variable line width option is enabled, "\thinlines" command
231 is still used when line width is less than LineThick. One poten‐
232 tial problem is that the width of "\thinlines" is 0.4pt but the
233 resolution of Fig is 1/80 inch (approx. 1pt). If LineThick is
234 set to 2, normal lines will be drawn in 0.4pt wide lines but the
235 next line width is already 2pt. One possible solution is to set
236 LineThick to 1 and set the width of the those lines you want to
237 be drawn in "\thinlines" to 0.
238 Due to this problem, Variable line width VarWidth is defaulted
240 to be false.
241
245 IBM-GL (IBM Graphics Language) is compatible with HP-GL (Hewlett-
246 Packard Graphics Language).
247 -a Select ISO A4 (ANSI A) paper size if the default is ANSI A (ISO
250 A4) paper size.
251 -c Generate instructions for an IBM 6180 Color Plotter with (with‐
254 out) an IBM Graphics Enhancement Cartridge (IBM-GEC).
255 -d xll,yll,xur,yur
258 Restrict plotting to a rectangular area of the plotter paper
259 which has a lower left hand corner at (xll,yll) and a upper
260 right hand corner at (xur,yur). All four numbers are in inches
261 and follow -d in a comma-sparated list - xll,yll,xur,yur - with
262 no spaces between them.
263 -f file
266 Load text character specifications from the table in the fonts
267 file. The table must have 36 entries - one for each font plus a
268 default. Each entry consists of 5 numbers which specify the 1.)
269 standard character set (0 - 4, 6 - 9, 30 - 39), 2.) alternate
270 character set (0 - 4, 6 - 9, 30 - 39), 3.) character slant angle
271 (degrees), 4.) character width scale factor and 5.) character
272 height scale factor.
273 -k Precede output with PCL command to use HP/GL
276 -l pattfile
279 Load area fill line patterns from the table in the pattfile
280 file. The table must have 21 entries - one for each of the area
281 fill patterns. Each entry consists of 5 numbers which specify
282 the 1.) pattern number (-1 - 6), 2.) pattern length (inches),
283 3.) fill type (1 - 5), 4.) fill spacing (inches) and 5.) fill
284 angle (degrees).
285 -m mag,x0,y0
288 The magnification may appear as the first element in a comma
289 separated list - mag,x0,y0 - where the second and third parame‐
290 ters specify an offset in inches.
291 -P Rotate the figure to portrait mode. The default is landscape
294 mode.
295 -p penfile
298 Load plotter pen specifications from the table in the penfile
299 file. The table must have 9 entries - one for each color plus a
300 default. Each entry consists of 2 numbers which specify the 1.)
301 pen number (1 - 8) and 2.) pen thickness (millimeters).
302 -S speed
305 Set the pen speed to speed (centimeters/second).
306 -v Plot the figure upside-down in portrait mode or backwards in
309 landscape mode. This allows you to write on the top surface of
310 overhead transparencies without disturbing the plotter ink on
311 the bottom surface.
312 Fig2dev may be installed with either ANSI A or ISO A4 default paper
314 size. The -a option selects the alternate paper size. Fig2dev does
315 not fill closed splines. The IBM-GEC is required to fill other poly‐
316 gons. Fig2dev may be installed for plotters with or without the IBM-
317 GEC. The -c option selects the alternate instruction set.
318
321 -b borderwidth
322 Make blank border around figure of width borderwidth.
323 -F Use correct font sizes (points, 1/72 inch) instead of the tradi‐
326 tional size that xfig/fig2dev uses, which is (1/80 inch). The
327 corresponding xfig command-line option is -correct_font_size.
328 -g color
331 Use color for the background.
332 -N Convert all colors to grayscale.
335 -S smoothfactor
338 This will smooth the output by passing smoothfactor to ghost‐
339 script in the -dTextAlphaBits and -dGraphicsAlphaBits options to
340 improve font rendering and graphic smoothing. A value of 2 for
341 smoothfactor provides some smoothing and 4 provides more.
342
345 -t color
346 Use color for the transparent color in the GIF file. This must
347 be specified in the same format that ppmmake(1) allows. It may
348 allow an X11 color name, but at least you may use a six-digit
349 hexadecimal RGBvalue using the # sign, e.g. #ff0000 (Red).
350
353 -q image_quality
354 use the integer value image_quality for the JPEG "Quality" fac‐
355 tor. Valid values are 0-100, with the default being 75.
356
360 -d dmag
361 Set a separate magnification for the length of line dashes to
362 dmag.
363 -E num Set encoding for latex text translation (0 no translation, 1
366 ISO-8859-1, 2 ISO-8859-2)
367 -l lwidth
370 Sets the threshold between LaTeX thin and thick lines to lwidth
371 pixels. LaTeX supports only two different line width: \thin‐
372 lines and \thicklines. Lines of width greater than lwidth pix‐
373 els are drawn as \thicklines. Also affects the size of dots in
374 dotted line style. The default is 1.
375 -v Verbose mode.
377 LaTeX cannot accurately represent all the graphics objects which can be
379 described by Fig. For example, the possible slopes which lines may
380 have are limited. Some objects, such as spline curves, cannot be drawn
381 at all. Fig2latex chooses the closest possible line slope, and prints
382 error messages when objects cannot be drawn accurately
383
386 Xfig version 3.2.3 and later saves and allows the user to edit comments
387 for each Fig object. The fig2dev map output language will produce an
388 HTML image map using Fig objects that have href="some_html_reference"
389 in their comments. Any Fig object except compound objects may used for
390 this. Usually, besides generating the map file, you would also gener‐
391 ate a GIF file, which is the image to which the map refers.
392 For example, you may have an xfig drawing with an imported image that
394 has the comment href="go_here.html" and a box object with a comment
395 href="go_away.html". This will produce an image map file such the user
396 may click on the image and the browser will load the "go_here.html"
397 page, or click on the box and the browser will load the "go_away.html"
398 page.
399 After the map file is generated by fig2dev you will need to edit it to
401 fill out any additional information it may need.
402 -b borderwidth
404 Make blank border around figure of width borderwidth.
405
409 fig2dev scales the figure by 1/8 before generating METAFONT code. The
410 magnification can be further changed with the -m option or by giving
411 magnification options to mf.
412 In order to process the generated METAFONT code, the mfpic macros must
414 be installed where mf can find them. The mfpic macro package is avail‐
415 able at any CTAN cite under the subdirectory: graphics/mfpic
416 -C code
419 specifies the starting METAFONT font code. The default is 32.
420 -n name
422 specifies the name to use in the output file.
423 -p pen_magnification
425 specifies how much the line width should be magnified compared
426 to the original figure. The default is 1.
427 -t top specifies the top of the whole coordinate system. The default is
429 ypos.
430 -x xmin
432 specifies the minimum x coordinate value of the figure (inches).
433 The default is 0.
434 -y ymin
436 specifies the minumum y coordinate value of the figure (inches).
437 The default is 0.
438 -X xmax
440 specifies the maximum x coordinate value of the figure (inches).
441 The default is 8.
442 -Y ymax
444 specifies the maximum y coordinate value of the figure (inches).
445 The default is 8.
446
449 -i file
450 Include file content via \input-command.
451 -I file
454 Include file content as additional header.
455 -o Old mode (no latex).
458 -p number
461 Adds the line "prologues:=number" to the output.
462
466 -p ext Enables the use of certain PIC extensions which are known to
467 work with the groff package; compatibility with DWB PIC is
468 unknown. The extensions enabled by each option are:
469 arc Allow ARC_BOX i.e. use rounded corners
471 line Use the 'line_thickness' value
472 fill Allow ellipses to be filled
473 all Use all of the above
474 psfont Don't convert Postscript fonts generic type
475 (useful for files going to be Ditroff'ed for
476 and printed on PS printer). DWB-compatible.
477 allps Use all of the above (i.e. "all" + "psfont")
478
481 In order to include PiCTeX pictures into a document, it is necessary to
482 load the PiCTeX macros.
483 PiCTeX uses TeX integer register arithmetic to generate curves, and so
485 it is very slow. PiCTeX draws curves by \put-ing the psymbol repeat‐
486 edly, and so requires a large amount of TeX's internal memory, and gen‐
487 erates large DVI files. The size of TeX's memory limits the number of
488 plot symbols in a picture. As a result, it is best to use PiCTeX to
489 generate small pictures.
490 -E num Set encoding for latex text translation (0 no translation, 1
493 ISO-8859-1, 2 ISO-8859-2)
494
497 With PostScript, xfig can be used to create multiple page figures Spec‐
498 ify the -M option to produce a multi-page output. For posters, add -O
499 to overlap the pages slightly to get around the problem of the unprint‐
500 able area in most printers, then cut and paste the pages together. Due
501 to memory limitations of most laser printers, the figure should not
502 have large imported images (bitmaps). Great for text with very big let‐
503 ters.
504 The EPS driver has the following differences from PostScript:
506 o No showpage is generated because the output is meant to be
507 imported into another program or document and not printed
508 o The landscape/portrait options are ignored
509 o The centering option is ignored
510 o The multiple-page option is ignored
511 o The paper size option is ignored
512 o The x/y offset options are ignored
513 The EPS driver has the following two special options:
515 -B 'Wx [Wy X0 Y0]'
517 This specifies that the bounding box of the EPS file should have
518 the width Wx and the height Wy. Note that it doesn't scale the
519 figure to this size, it merely sets the bounding box. If a
520 value less than or equal to 0 is specified for Wx or Wy, these
521 are set to the width/height respectively of the figure. Origin
522 is relative to screen (0,0) (upper-left). Wx, Wy, X0 and Y0 are
523 interpreted in centimeters or inches depending on the measure
524 given in the fig-file. Remember to put either quotes (") or
525 apostrophes (') to group the arguments to -B.
526 -R 'Wx [Wy X0 Y0]'
528 Same as the -B option except that X0 and Y0 is relative to the
529 lower left corner of the figure. Remember to put either quotes
530 (") or apostrophes (') to group the arguments to -R.
531 The PDF driver uses all the PostScript options.
533 Text can now include various ISO-character codes above 0x7f, which is
535 useful for language specific characters to be printed directly. Not
536 all ISO-characters are implemented.
537 Color support: Colored objects created by Fig can be printed on a color
539 postscript printer. There are 32 standard colors: black, yellow, white,
540 gold, five shades of blue, four shades of green, four shades of cyan,
541 four shades of red, five shades of magenta, four shades of brown, and
542 four shades of pink. In addition there may be user-defined colors in
543 the file. See the xfig FORMAT3.2 file for the definition of these col‐
544 ors. On a monochrome printer, colored objects will be mapped into dif‐
545 ferent grayscales by the printer. Filled objects are printed using the
546 given area fill and color. There are 21 "shades" going from black to
547 full saturation of the fill color, and 21 more "tints" from full satu‐
548 ration + 1 to white. In addition, there are 16 patterns such as
549 bricks, diagonal lines, crosshatch, etc.
550 -A Add an ASCII (EPSI) preview.
552 -b borderwidth
554 Make blank border around figure of width borderwidth.
555 Not availble in EPS.
556 -C dummy_arg
559 Add a color *binary* TIFF preview for Microsoft products that
560 need a binary preview. See also -T (monochrome preview). A
561 dummy argument must be supplied for historical reasons.
562 -c option centers the figure on the page. The centering may not be
564 accurate if there are texts in the fig_file that extends too far
565 to the right of other objects.
566 -e option puts the figure against the edge (not centered) of the
568 page. Not availble in EPS.
569 -F Use correct font sizes (points) instead of the traditional size
572 that xfig/fig2dev uses, which is 1/80 inch. The corresponding
573 xfig command-line option is -correct_font_size.
574 -g color
577 Use color for the background.
578 -l dummy_arg
580 Generate figure in landscape mode. The dummy argument is
581 ignored, but must appear on the command line for reasons of com‐
582 patibility. This option will override the orientation specifi‐
583 cation in the file (for file versions 3.0 and higher).
584 Not availble in EPS.
585 -M Generate multiple pages if figure exceeds paper size.
587 Not availble in EPS.
588 -N Convert all colors to grayscale.
590 -n name
593 Set the Title part of the PostScript output to name. This is
594 useful when the input to fig2dev comes from standard input.
595 -O When used with -M, overlaps the pages slightly to get around the
597 problem of the unprintable area in most printers.
598 Not availble in EPS.
599 -p dummy_arg
601 Generate figure in portrait mode. The dummy argument is
602 ignored, but must appear on the command line for reasons of com‐
603 patibility. This option will override the orientation specifi‐
604 cation in the file (for file versions 3.0 and higher). This is
605 the default for Fig files of version 2.1 or lower.
606 Not availble in EPS.
607 -T Add a monochrome *binary* TIFF preview for Microsoft products
610 that need a binary preview. See also -C (color preview).
611 -x offset
614 shift the figure in the X direction by offset units (1/72
615 inch). A negative value shifts the figure to the left
616 and a positive value to the right.
617 Not availble in EPS.
618 -y offset
620 shift the figure in the Y direction by offset units (1/72
621 inch). A negative value shifts the figure up and a posi‐
622 tive value down.
623 Not availble in EPS.
624 -z papersize
626 Sets the papersize. Not availble in EPS.
627 Available paper sizes are:
628 "Letter" (8.5" x 11" also "A"),
629 "Legal" (11" x 14")
630 "Ledger" (11" x 17"),
631 "Tabloid" (17" x 11", really Ledger in Landscape mode),
632 "A" (8.5" x 11" also "Letter"),
633 "B" (11" x 17" also "Ledger"),
634 "C" (17" x 22"),
635 "D" (22" x 34"),
636 "E" (34" x 44"),
637 "A4" (21 cm x 29.7cm),
638 "A3" (29.7cm x 42 cm),
639 "A2" (42 cm x 59.4cm),
640 "A1" (59.4cm x 84.1cm),
641 "A0" (84.1cm x 118.9cm),
642 and "B5" (18.2cm x 25.7cm).
643
645 The pstex language is a variant of ps which suppresses formatted
646 (special) text. The pstex_t language has the complementary
647 behavior: it generates only the LaTeX special text and the com‐
648 mands necessary to position special text, and to overlay the
649 PostScript file generated using pstex. These two drivers can be
650 used to generate a figure which combines the flexibility of
651 PostScript graphics with LaTeX text formatting of special text.
652 -F Use correct font sizes (points) instead of the tradi‐
655 tional size that xfig/fig2dev uses, which is 1/80 inch.
656 The corresponding xfig command-line option is -cor‐
657 rect_font_size.
658 -g color
661 Use color for the background.
662 -n name
664 sets the Title part of the PostScript output to name.
665 This is useful when the input to fig2dev comes from stan‐
666 dard input.
667
669 The pstex_t language produces only the LaTeX special text and
670 the commands necessary to position special text, and to overlay
671 the PostScript file generated using pstex. (see above)
672 -E num Set encoding for latex text translation (0 no transla‐
675 tion, 1 ISO-8859-1, 2 ISO-8859-2)
676 -F Don't set the font face, series, and style; only set it's
679 size and the baselineskip. By default, fig2dev sets all 5
680 font parameters when it puts some text. The disadvantage
681 is that you can't set the font from your LaTeX document.
682 With this option on, you can set the font from your LaTeX
683 document (like "\sfshape \input picture.eepic").
684 -p file
686 specifies the name of the PostScript file to be overlaid.
687 If not set or its value is null then no PS file will be
688 inserted.
689
692 -l dummy_arg
693 Generate figure in landscape mode. The dummy argument is
694 ignored, but must appear on the command line for reasons
695 of compatibility. This option will override the orienta‐
696 tion specification in the file (for file versions 3.0 and
697 higher).
698 -p dummy_arg
700 Generate figure in portrait mode. The dummy argument is
701 ignored, but must appear on the command line for reasons
702 of compatibility. This option will override the orienta‐
703 tion specification in the file (for file versions 3.0 and
704 higher). This is the default for Fig files of version
705 2.1 or lower.
706 -P Generate canvas of full page size instead of using the
708 bounding box of the figure's objects. The default is to
709 use only the bounding box.
710 -z papersize
712 Sets the papersize. See the POSTSCRIPT OPTIONS for
713 available paper sizes. This is only used when the -P
714 option (use full page) is used.

723 Arc-boxes are not supported for the tk output language, and only
725 X bitmap pictures are supported because of the canvas limitation
726 in tk.
727 Picture objects are not scaled with the magnification factor for
729 tk output.
730 Because tk scales canvas items according to the X display reso‐
732 lution, polygons, lines, etc. may be scaled differently than
733 imported pictures (bitmaps) which aren't scaled at all.
734 Rotated text is only supported in the IBM-GL (HP/GL) and Post‐
736 Script (including eps) languages.
