4There is a port of xfig for the MacIntosh running Darwin (the MacIntosh
5port of XFree86). See http://fink.sourceforge.net/pdb/package.php/xfig
6************************************************************************
7There is a version of xfig which will run under Windows, but still needs
8an X server (e.g. Hummingbird Exceed, or Cygwin http://www.cygwin.com/xfree/)
9to run.  The URL is:

13grass2fig - The GRASS GIS (Geographic Resources Analysis Support System)
14	is an open source Geographical Information System (GIS) with raster,
15	topological vector, image processing, and graphics production
16	functionality that operates on various platforms through a graphical
17	user interface and shell in X-Windows. It is released under GNU General
18	Public License (GPL).
19	The grass2fig program will convert a GRASS binary vector map to a
20	Fig file.
21************************************************************************
22JavaFIG - Java applet which is based on xfig. See:
23	http://tech-www.informatik.uni-hamburg.de/applets/javafig/applet.html
24************************************************************************
25figbuild - figbuild reads xfig files (Version 3.x, tested with 3.1, 3.2) plus
26	its own config file for heights, and generates a Radiance input
27	file. Written by Peter Apian-Bennewitz at Fraunhofer ISE, Germany
28	see:

31************************************************************************
32xfigbar and xfigpie - Two C programs to produce bar and pie charts as Fig
33	files.  Written by John Conover <john@johncon.johncon.com>,
34	these programs are available at:
35	http://www.johncon.com/john/archive/xfigutilities.shar.gz
36
37************************************************************************
38mifXfig - MIF to XFig and XFig to MIF Converter
39	see http://www.ida.liu.se/~vaden/teaching/m2f/ for details, but it
40	basically converts to and from MIF and Fig files
41	From Vadim Engelson (vaden@ida.liu.se)
42
43************************************************************************
44pstoedit - converts Postscript(TM) files to other vector graphic formats
45	that can be edited. Besides Fig output, tgif, Framemaker(TM) (MIF-
46	format) and flattened PostScript are supported along with several
47	others.
48	You need a C++ compiler to install and GhostScript to run pstoedit.
49	pstoedit should run on all Un*x like systems and has also been ported
50	to OS/2 and DOS.

54************************************************************************
55hp2xx - converts HPGL to EPS, LaTex, Fig or simplified HPGL converter
56	Now maintained by Martin Kroeker (mk@daveg.com)
57	available from ftp.gnu.org and the usual mirror sites
58
59************************************************************************
60chemtool - Chemical structure editor for X11 available from
61	http://ruby.chemie.uni-freiburg.de/~martin/chemtool/chemtool.html
62	that writes Fig output (and relies on transfig for anything more fancy
63	than xbm)
64
65************************************************************************
66xgraph - plotting package for X - version on iworks.ecn.uiowa.edu in
67	comp.hp has version that can output Fig files
68
69************************************************************************
70gnuplot - Plotting package; can output in Fig format.
71	For the location of gnuplot, here is the (paraphrased) excerpt from
72	the FAQ.  Note, that although there are versions of gnuplot for
73	several different platforms, xfig only runs under X11.
74
75	The official distribution site for the gnuplot source is dartmouth.edu,
76	in /pub/gnuplot.  Official mirrors of that distribution are (for
77	Australia) monu1.cc.monash.edu.au and (for Europe) irisa.irisa.fr.
78	You can also get it from your friendly neighbourhood comp.sources.misc
79	archive.
80
81	MS-DOS and MS-Windows binaries are available from oak.oakland.edu
82	(North America) as pub/msdos/plot/gpt34*.zip, garbo.uwasa.fi (Europe)
83	as /pc/plot/gpt34*.zip and archie.au (Australia) as
84	micros/pc/oak/plot/gpt34*.zip.  The files are: gpt34doc.zip,
85	gpt34exe.zip, gpt34src.zip and gpt34win.zip.
86
87	OS/2 2.x binaries are at ftp-os2.nmsu.edu in /os2/2.x/unix/gnu/gplt34.zip.
88
89	Amiga sources and binaries are available from wuarchive.wustl.edu
90	as /pub/amiga/aminet/util/gnu/gnuplot-3.4*; there are numerous mirrors
91	of this distribution.
92
93	The NeXTSTEP front end can be found at sonata.cc.purdue.edu and
94	cs.orst.edu.
95
96	A version for OS-9/68K can be found at cabrales.cs.wisc.edu in
97	/pub/OSK/GRAPHICS; it includes both an X and non - X versions.
98
99	A version of gnuplot for the Macintosh is included in the gpcontrb
100	file, or can be found at wuarchive.wustl.edu in
101	edu/math/mac/graphingAids, as MacGnuPlot3.2.sea.hqx and
102	MacGnuPlotPackage3.2.sea.hqx.

104************************************************************************
105pic2fig - converts PIC (used with troff/ditroff/etc) to Fig.
106	May be found at ftp.cs.orst.edu in /localsrc/graphics and
107	at ftp.x.org in /contrib/utilities.
108
109************************************************************************
110GNU plotutils - includes an application for XY plotting (graph),
111	a plot filter (plot), a Tektronix translator (tek2plot),
112	a program for displaying font character maps (plotfont),
113	and a library for drawing 2-D vector graphics (libplot),
114	all of which produce output in xfig format.

119************************************************************************
120cdraw2fig - converts cdraw to Fig
121
122	Here is the cdraw README file:
123
124	cdraw2fig translates pictures from "Cheap Draw" format to Fig format.
125	The TransFig package can then be used for translation to the desired
126	output format.  Currently supported formats include PIC, (E)EPIC, LaTeX,
127	PostScript, and several others.
128
129	cdraw2fig is implemented in the awk programming language.  Most Cheap
130	Draw operations are handled in some way, although some of the transla-
131	tions are somewhat arbitrary.  Note that some output formats are con-
132	siderably less expressive than Cheap Draw (and Fig).  PIC, for example,
133	supports neither shading or rotated text.  In addition, precise text
134	spacing is problematic across the different output formats.
135
136	The following files are included in this distribution:
137
138	       README          - this file
139	       cdraw2fig.uu    - ksh script with self-contained awk program
140				 (uuencoded)
141	       example         - sample "Cheap Draw" file (from the original
142				 Cheap Draw distribution)
143
144	To translate a Cheap Draw file to PIC (for example):
145
146	       $ cdraw2fig example > example.fig
147	       $ fig2dev -Lpic example.fig > example.pic
148
149	Cheap Draw 2.0 was written by Bob Pratt and is available from the UNIXPC
150	archives at osu-cis.

176TeXmacs - a WYSIWYG mathematical text editor which supports the inclusion of
177pictures created by xfig. There is also a small script which converts an xfig
178picture with LaTeX formulas in it to encapsulated postscript (by calling LaTeX).
