README
1Fig2dev is a set of tools for creating TeX documents with graphics
2which are portable, in the sense that they can be printed in a wide
3variety of environments.
4
5Fig2dev consists of the fig2dev and the transfig commands. The fig2dev
6command translates Fig code to other graphic description languages. The
7transfig command generates transfig.tex, a macro file for \input in a
8TeX document, and a Makefile which translates Fig code to various
9graphics description languages using the fig2dev program. Currently,
10transfig is considered obsolete, and it is not maintained any longer.
11By default, transfig is not built. To build transfig, enable it
12explicitly with ./configure --enable-transfig.
13
14See the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
15
16The transfig directory contains the source for the transfig command
17which generates a Makefile which translates Fig code to various graphics
18description languages using the fig2dev program. In previous releases,
19this command was implemented as a shell script.
20
21The fig2dev directory contains a general program for translating from
22Fig code to other graphics desciption languages. The dev subdirectory
23contains a library of output drivers used by fig2dev.
24
25The man directory contains man pages for fig2dev and for the transfig
26command. The doc directory contains a manual for using TransFig to
27create documents with portable graphics.
28
29Fig2dev and its companion xfig are available from
30 https://sourceforge.net/projects/mcj

33Runtime Requirements
34********************
35
36o To translate Fig to any bitmap format (GIF, JPEG, TIFF, PNG, XPM, and others),
37 first the Fig file is translated to PostScript and then ghostscript is called
38 to render the image to the final format, or to PPM. The conversion from PPM to
39 the final format is either done with an appropriate ppmtoXXX filter from the
40 netpbm programs, or with convert from the ImageMagick package, or with gm
41 convert from the GraphicsMagick package.
42
43 o You need ghostscript, and
44
45 o either the netpbm programs, or ImageMagick , or GraphicsMagick.
46
47o To use the -a (binary) option for CGM export, the ralcgm program is
48 required. This is available from ftp://ftp.cc.rl.ac.uk/pub/graphics/ralcgm/
