NAME
transfig - creates a makefile for portable LaTeX figures
SYNOPSIS
transfig [ -L language ] [ -M makefile ] [ -T texfile ] [ -I macrofile
] [ -V ] [ control_specs figfile ... ] ...]
DESCRIPTION
Transfig creates a makefile to translate figures described in Fig code
or PIC into a specified LaTeX graphics language. PIC files are
identified by the suffix ".pic"; Fig files can be specified either
with or without the suffix ".fig" . Transfig also creates a TeX macro
file appropriate to the target language.
OPTIONS
The language specifier must be either epic, eepic, eepicemu, latex,
pictex, ps, eps, psfig, pstex, textyl, tpic, or null. The specifier
psfig is like the ps specifier, except that it make use of the psfig
macro package. The specifier pstex is like psfig, except that it uses
LaTeX to process formatted (special) text. The specifier null results
in the figures being replaced by empty boxes of the appropriate size.
If no language is specified, epic is the default.
The names of the makefile and TeX macro file can be set with the -M
and -T options. The default names are "Makefile" and "transfig.tex",
respectively. If the -I option is specified, then a command to read
in macrofile is inserted into the TeX macro file. If the -V
option is specified, the program version number is printed only.
Control specifiers are
-m mag
set the magnification at which the figure is rendered (default
1.0).
-f font
set the default font family used for text objects (default "rm").
-s fontsize
set the default font size (in points) for text objects (default
11*mag).
-o option
pass the specified option string through to fig2dev.
If there is no scaling, the default font is an eleven point roman
font. Language and control specifiers may occur more than once; they
affect the translation of files which appear to their right in the
argument list. If no files are specified, then "*.fig" is assumed.
