- The following are applications which can produce Fig files as their output:
-
- ************************************************************************
- pstoedit - converts Postscript(TM) files to a simple vector graphic format,
- that can be edited. Currently tgif, xfig, and Framemaker(TM) (MIF-
- format) and flat PostScript are supported.
- Available from:
- ftp://ftp.x.org/contrib/applications/tgif/pstoedit/pstoedit.2.3.1.tar.gz
- ftp://ftp.cs.ucla.edu/pub/tgif/pstoedit/pstoedit.2.3.1.tar.gz
- ftp://bourbon.cs.ucla.edu/pub/pstoedit/pstoedit.2.3.1.tar.gz
-
- ************************************************************************
- xgraph - plotting package for X - version on iworks.ecn.uiowa.edu in
- comp.hp has version that can output Fig files
-
- ************************************************************************
- gnuplot - Plotting package; can output in Fig format.
-
- ************************************************************************
- pic2fig - converts PIC (used with troff/ditroff/etc) to Fig.
- May be found at ftp.cs.orst.edu in /localsrc/graphics.

- plot2fig - converts Unix PLOT language to Fig
-
- This is the README file for plot2fig.
-
- plot2fig is a utility for converting unix plot files into the fig file format.
- fig files may be editied using fig, or xfig. They can be converted to other
- formats using the transfig package.

- for copyright, license, warranty and distribution details.
-
- This software has yet to be thoroughly tested. Any comments or bug fixes
- would be greatly appreciated. Please send them to rich@rice.edu.

- cdraw2fig - converts cdraw to Fig
-
- Here is the cdraw README file:
-
- cdraw2fig translates pictures from "Cheap Draw" format to Fig format.
- The TransFig package can then be used for translation to the desired
- output format. Currently supported formats include PIC, (E)EPIC, LaTeX,
- PostScript, and several others.
-
- cdraw2fig is implemented in the awk programming language. Most Cheap
- Draw operations are handled in some way, although some of the transla-
- tions are somewhat arbitrary. Note that some output formats are con-
- siderably less expressive than Cheap Draw (and Fig). PIC, for example,
- supports neither shading or rotated text. In addition, precise text
- spacing is problematic across the different output formats.
-
- The following files are included in this distribution:
-
- README - this file
- cdraw2fig.uu - ksh script with self-contained awk program
- (uuencoded)
- example - sample "Cheap Draw" file (from the original
- Cheap Draw distribution)
-
- To translate a Cheap Draw file to PIC (for example):
-
- $ cdraw2fig example > example.fig
- $ fig2dev -Lpic example.fig > example.pic
-
- Cheap Draw 2.0 was written by Bob Pratt and is available from the UNIXPC
- archives at osu-cis.
