- About AmiFIG
- ============
-
- AmiFIG is a universal structured drawing tool, which is derived from
- the well-known Unix-program XFig by Supoj Sutanthavibul and others.
- This version now includes most of the v3.1 features.
- Parts of the GUI were designed using GadToolsBox 2.0b by JaBa Development.
-
- The features include:
- ellipses, circles, lines, splines, arcs, images, compounds, text, arrows,
- colors, filling with pattern or colour, different line widths and styles,
- scaling, copying, rotating, zooming, grid, more, more, more...
-
- Also included is fig2dev, a tool to convert fig data files into several
- formats (PostScript, LaTeX, epic etc.).
-
- AmiFIG is shareware. The unregistered version only saves up to 30 objects
- (incl. contents of compound objects). That also applies to the size of
- library folders.
- Read the documents in the archive on how to register.
