1The following are applications which can produce Fig files as their output: 2 3************************************************************************ 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: 10http://aquarius.franken.de/software/develop/gnuwin32/cygwin/porters/Hirmke_Michael/GNUWin32-links.html 11Another is: http://www.cs.usask.ca/grads/wew036/latex/xfig.html 12************************************************************************ 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: 29 http://www.ise.fhg.de/radiance/pabs-toolbox/figbuild/figbuild.html 30 31************************************************************************ 32xfigbar and xfigpie - Two C programs to produce bar and pie charts as Fig 33 files.

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. 51 52 http://www.pstoedit.net/pstoedit 53 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. 103 104************************************************************************ 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. 115 116 http://www.gnu.org/software/plotutils/plotutils.html 117 by Robert S. Maier <rsm@math.arizona.edu> 118 119************************************************************************ 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. 151 152************************************************************************ 153Msphinx - a friendly package to handle satellite images. 154 155 Main features: 156 Msphinx includes two types of analysis and processing functions: 157 - Functions to process the basic data geometry and 158 projection planes. 159 - Functions to manipulate and modify the graphic display and print. 160 161 Communication capabilities: 162 - Data writes from external user programs 163 (C or Fortran) into the memory planes. 164 - User-to-user data exchange (text or images). 165 - User image data base visualisation. 166 - Direct links to other packages: 167 - Mgraph (2d and contouring plotting) 168 - HDFLook (HDF read write files) 169>>> - Xfig (Facility for Interactive Generation of figures) 170 - mpeg_encode (mpeg format nimations) 171 172 Find it at: 173 http://loasys.univ-lille1.fr/Msphinx/Msphinx_gb.html 174 175************************************************************************ 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). 179For more information about TeXmacs, see: 180 181 http://www.math.u-psud.fr/~anh/TeXmacs/TeXmacs.html 182 By Joris van der Hoeven 183 184************************************************************************ 185 186As well, there are pointers to other FIG and Xfig related items at: 187http://duke.usask.ca/~macphed/soft/fig/ 188 189************************************************************************ 190 191
