NAME

       fig2dev - translates Fig code to various graphics languages

SYNOPSIS

       fig2dev  -L  language  [  -m mag ] [ -f font ] [ -s fsize ] [ other options ] [ fig-file [
       out-file ] ]

DESCRIPTION

       Fig2dev translates fig code in the named fig-file into the specified graphics language and
       puts  them in out-file.  The default fig-file and out-file are standard input and standard
       output, respectively

       Xfig (Facility for Interactive Generation of figures) is a screen-oriented tool which runs
       under  the  X  Window  System,  and  allows  the  user  to  draw  and  manipulate  objects
       interactively.  This version of fig2dev is compatible with xfig versions  1.3,  1.4,  2.0,
       2.1, 3.0, 3.1 and 3.2.

       Xfig  version  3.2.3  and  later  saves  and allows the user to edit comments for each Fig
       object.  These comments  are  output  with  several  of  the  output  languages,  such  as
       PostScript,  CGM,  EMF,  LaTeX, MetaFont, PicTeX, (as % comments), tk (as # comments), and
       pic (as .\" comments).

GENERAL OPTIONS (all drivers)

       -L language
              Set the output graphics language.  Valid  languages  are  box,  cgm,  epic,  eepic,
              eepicemu,  emf,  eps,  gbx (Gerber beta driver), gif, ibmgl, jpeg, latex, map (HTML
              image map), mf (MetaFont), mp (MetaPost), mmp (Multi-MetaPost), pcx,  pdf,  pdftex,
              pdftex_t,  pdftex_p,  pic, pictex, png, ppm, ps, pstex, pstex_t, pstex_p, pstricks,
              ptk (Perl/tk), shape (LaTeX shaped paragraphs), sld  (AutoCad  slide  format),  svg
              (beta driver), textyl, tiff, tk (tcl/tk), tpic, xbm and xpm.

              Notes:
              dvips
               and  xdvi must be compiled with the tpic support (-DTPIC) for epic, eepic and tpic
              to work.
              You must have ghostscript and ps2pdf, which comes with the ghostscript distribution
              to  get  the  pdf  output  and the bitmap formats (png, jpeg, etc.), and the netpbm
              (pbmplus) package to get gif, xbm, xpm, and sld output.

       -h     Print help message with all options for all output languages then exit.

       -V     Print the program version number and exit.

       -D +/-rangelist
              With +rangelist, keep only those depths in the list.   With  -rangelist,  keep  all
              depths  except  those  in  the list. The rangelist may be a list of comma-separated
              numbers or ranges separated by colon (:). For  example,  -D  +10,40,55:70,80  means
              keep only layers 10, 40, 55 through 70, and 80.

       -K     The  selection  of  the  depths with the '-D +/-rangelist' option does normally not
              affect the calcualtion of the bounding box. Thus the generated document might  have
              a  much larger bounding box than necessary. If -K is given then the bounding box is
              adjusted to include only those objects in the selected depths.

       -f font
              Set the default font used for text objects to font.   The  default  is  Roman;  the
              format  of  this  option  depends  on  the  graphics language in use.  In TeX-based
              languages, the font is the base of the name given in lfonts.tex, for instance "cmr"
              for  Roman,  or "tt" for teletype.  In PostScript, it is any font name known to the
              printer or interpreter. For Gerber it has no effect.

       -G minor[:major][:unit]
              Draws a grid on the page.  Specify thin, or thin and thick line spacing in  one  of
              several  units.  For example, "-G .25:1cm" draws a thin, gray line every .25 cm and
              a thicker gray line every 1 cm.  Specifying "-G 1in" draws  a  thin  line  every  1
              inch.  Fractions may be used, e.g. "-G 1/16:1/2in" will draw a thin line every 1/16
              inch (0.0625 inch) and a thick line every 1/2 inch.
              Allowable units are: i, in, inch, f, ft, feet, c, cm, mm, and m.
              Only allowed for PostScript, EPS, PDF, and bitmap (GIF, JPEG, etc) drivers for now.

       -j     Enable the I18N internationalization facility.

       -m mag Set the magnification at which the figure is rendered to mag.  The default is  1.0.
              This may not be used with the maxdimension option (-Z).

       -s size
              Set  the  default  font size (in points) for text objects to fsize.  The default is
              11*mag, and thus is scaled by the -m option.  If there is no scaling,  the  default
              font is eleven point Roman."

       -Z maxdimension
              Scale  the  figure  so that the maximum dimension (width or height) is maxdimension
              inches or cm, depending on whether the figure was saved  with  imperial  or  metric
              units.  This may not be used with the magnification option (-m).

       other options
              The  other  options  are  specific to the choice of graphics language, as described
              below.

CGM OPTIONS

       CGM is Computer Graphics Metafile, developed by ISO and ANSI and is  a  vector-based  plus
       bitmap  language.   Microsoft WORD, PowerPoint and probably other products can import this
       format and display it on the screen, something that they won't do with EPS files that have
       an ASCII preview.

       -b dummyarg
              Generate binary output (dummy argument required after the "-b").

       -r     Position  arrowheads  for  CGM  viewers that display rounded arrowheads.  Normally,
              arrowheads are pointed, so fig2dev compensates for this by moving the  endpoint  of
              the  line  back so the tip of the arrowhead ends where the original endpoint of the
              line was.  If the -r option is used, the position of arrows will NOT  be  corrected
              for  compensating  line width effects, because the rounded arrowhead doesn't extend
              beyond the endpoint of the line.

EMF OPTIONS

       EMF is Enhanced Metafile, developed  by  Microsoft  and  is  a  vector-based  plus  bitmap
       language.   Microsoft  WORD, PowerPoint and probably other products can import this format
       and display it on the screen, something that they won't do with EPS  files  that  have  an
       ASCII preview.

EPIC OPTIONS

       EPIC  is  an  enhancement to LaTeX picture drawing environment.  It was developed by Sunil
       Podar of Department of Computer Science in S.U.N.Y at Stony Brook.

       EEPIC is an extension to EPIC and  LaTeX  picture  drawing  environment  which  uses  tpic
       specials  as  a graphics mechanism.  It was written by Conrad Kwok of Division of Computer
       Science at University of California, Davis.

       EEPIC-EMU is an EEPIC emulation package which does not use tpic specials.

       -A factor
              Scale arrowheads by factor.  The width and height of arrowheads is divided by  this
              factor.   This is because EPIC arrowheads are normally about double the size of TeX
              arrowheads.

       -E num Set encoding for text translation (0 = none, 1 = ISO-8859-1, 2 = ISO-8859-2)

       -F     Don't  set  the  font  face,  series,  and  style;  only  set  it's  size  and  the
              baselineskip.  By  default,  fig2dev  sets  all 5 font parameters when it puts some
              text. The disadvantage is that you can't set the font  from  your  LaTeX  document.
              With  this option on, you can set the font from your LaTeX document (like "\sfshape
              \input picture.eepic").

              If any of the pictures included in your LaTeX document has been generated with  -F,
              then all pictures must be generated with this option.

              This option can be used only when fig2dev was compiled with NFSS defined.

       -l width
              Use "\thicklines" when width of the line is wider than lwidth.  The default is 2.

       -P     Generate  a  complete  LaTeX file. In other words, the output file can be formatted
              without requiring any changes. The additional text inserted in the beginning and at
              the  end  of  the  file is controlled by the configuration parameter "Preamble" and
              "Postamble".

       -R     Allow rotated text. Rotated text will be set using the \rotatebox command.  So, you
              will  need  to  include  "\usepackage{graphics}"  in  the  preamble  of  your LaTeX
              document.

              If this option is not set, then rotated text will be set horizontally.

       -S scale
              Set the scale to which the figure is rendered.  This option automatically sets  the
              magnification and size to scale / 12 and scale respectively.

       -t stretch
              Set the stretch factor of dashed lines to sretch.  The default is 30.

       -v     Include comments in the output file.

       -W     Enable  variable  line  width.  By default, only two line widths are available: The
              normal line width (hinlines), and thick lines (hicklines), if a line width of  more
              than one is selected in xfig.

       -w     Disable  variable  line width. Only "\thicklines" and/or "\thinlines" commands will
              be generated in the output file.

              When variable line width option is enabled, "\thinlines" command is still used when
              line  width  is  less  than  LineThick.  One potential problem is that the width of
              "\thinlines" is 0.4pt but the resolution of Fig is  1/80  inch  (approx.  1pt).  If
              LineThick  is set to 2, normal lines will be drawn in 0.4pt wide lines but the next
              line width is already 2pt. One possible solution is to set LineThick to 1  and  set
              the width of the those lines you want to be drawn in "\thinlines"  to 0.

              Due to this problem, Variable line width VarWidth is defaulted to be false.

IBM-GL (HP/GL) OPTIONS

       IBM-GL  (IBM  Graphics  Language)  is  compatible  with  HP-GL  (Hewlett-Packard  Graphics
       Language).

       -a     Select ISO A4 (ANSI A) paper size if the default is ANSI A (ISO A4) paper size.

       -c     Generate instructions for an IBM 6180 Color Plotter with (without) an IBM  Graphics
              Enhancement Cartridge (IBM-GEC).

       -d xll,yll,xur,yur
              Restrict plotting to a rectangular area of the plotter paper which has a lower left
              hand corner at (xll,yll) and a upper right hand  corner  at  (xur,yur).   All  four
              numbers  are  in  inches and follow -d in a comma-sparated list - xll,yll,xur,yur -
              with no spaces between them.

       -f file
              Load text character specifications from the table in the  fonts  file.   The  table
              must  have 36 entries - one for each font plus a default.  Each entry consists of 5
              numbers which specify the 1.) standard character set (0 - 4, 6 - 9, 30 -  39),  2.)
              alternate  character  set  (0  -  4,  6  -  9,  30 - 39), 3.) character slant angle
              (degrees), 4.) character width scale factor and 5.) character height scale factor.

       -k     Precede output with PCL command to use HP/GL

       -l pattfile
              Load area fill line patterns from the table in the pattfile file.  The  table  must
              have 21 entries - one for each of the area fill patterns.  Each entry consists of 5
              numbers which specify the 1.) pattern number (-1 - 6), 2.) pattern length (inches),
              3.) fill type (1 - 5), 4.) fill spacing (inches) and 5.) fill angle (degrees).

       -m mag,x0,y0
              The  magnification  may  appear  as  the  first element in a comma separated list -
              mag,x0,y0 - where the second and third parameters specify an offset in inches.

       -P     Rotate the figure to portrait mode. The default is landscape mode.

       -p penfile
              Load plotter pen specifications from the table in the penfile file.  The table must
              have  9  entries  -  one  for  each color plus a default.  Each entry consists of 2
              numbers  which  specify  the  1.)  pen  number  (1  -  8)  and  2.)  pen  thickness
              (millimeters).

       -S speed
              Set the pen speed to speed (centimeters/second).

       -v     Plot  the figure upside-down in portrait mode or backwards in landscape mode.  This
              allows you  to  write  on  the  top  surface  of  overhead  transparencies  without
              disturbing the plotter ink on the bottom surface.

       Fig2dev  may  be installed with either ANSI A or ISO A4 default paper size.  The -a option
       selects the alternate paper size.  Fig2dev does not fill closed splines.  The  IBM-GEC  is
       required  to  fill  other polygons.  Fig2dev may be installed for plotters with or without
       the IBM-GEC.  The -c option selects the alternate instruction set.

OPTIONS COMMON TO ALL BITMAP FORMATS

       -b borderwidth
              Make blank border around figure of width borderwidth.

       -F     Use correct font sizes (points, 1/72 inch) instead of  the  traditional  size  that
              xfig/fig2dev  uses,  which  is  (1/80  inch).   The corresponding xfig command-line
              option is -correct_font_size.

       -g color
              Use color for the background.

       -N     Convert all colors to grayscale.

       -S smoothfactor
              This will  smooth  the  output  by  passing  smoothfactor  to  ghostscript  in  the
              -dTextAlphaBits  and  -dGraphicsAlphaBits  options  to  improve  font rendering and
              graphic smoothing.  A value of 2 for smoothfactor provides  some  smoothing  and  4
              provides more.

GIF OPTIONS

       -t color
              Use color for the transparent color in the GIF file.  This must be specified in the
              same format that ppmmake(1) allows.  It may allow an X11 color name, but  at  least
              you may use a six-digit hexadecimal RGBvalue using the # sign, e.g. #ff0000 (Red).

JPEG OPTIONS

       -q image_quality
              use  the  integer  value image_quality for the JPEG "Quality" factor.  Valid values
              are 0-100, with the default being 75.

LATEX OPTIONS

       -d dmag
              Set a separate magnification for the length of line dashes to dmag.

       -E num Set encoding for  latex  text  translation  (0  no  translation,  1  ISO-8859-1,  2
              ISO-8859-2)

       -l lwidth
              Sets  the  threshold  between  LaTeX  thin and thick lines to lwidth pixels.  LaTeX
              supports only two different line width: \thinlines and \thicklines.  Lines of width
              greater than lwidth pixels are drawn as \thicklines.  Also affects the size of dots
              in dotted line style.  The default is 1.

       -v     Verbose mode.

       LaTeX cannot accurately represent all the graphics objects which can be described by  Fig.
       For  example, the possible slopes which lines may have are limited.  Some objects, such as
       spline curves, cannot be drawn at all.  Fig2latex chooses the closest possible line slope,
       and prints error messages when objects cannot be drawn accurately

MAP (HTML image map) OPTIONS

       Xfig  version  3.2.3  and  later  saves  and allows the user to edit comments for each Fig
       object.  The fig2dev map output language will produce an HTML image map using Fig  objects
       that  have  href="some_html_reference"  in their comments.  Any Fig object except compound
       objects may used for this.  Usually, besides generating  the  map  file,  you  would  also
       generate a PNG file, which is the image to which the map refers.

       For  example,  you  may  have  an xfig drawing with an imported image that has the comment
       href="go_here.html" and a box  object  with  a  comment  href="go_away.html".   This  will
       produce  an  image map file such the user may click on the image and the browser will load
       the "go_here.html" page, or click on the box and the browser will load the  "go_away.html"
       page.

       After  the  map  file  is  generated  by  fig2dev you will need to edit it to fill out any
       additional information it may need.

       -b borderwidth
              Make blank border around figure of width borderwidth.

METAFONT OPTIONS

       fig2dev scales the figure by 1/8 before generating METAFONT code.  The  magnification  can
       be further changed with the -m option or by giving magnification options to mf.

       In  order to process the generated METAFONT code, the mfpic macros must be installed where
       mf can find them. The mfpic macro  package  is  available  at  any  CTAN  cite  under  the
       subdirectory: graphics/mfpic

       -C code
              specifies the starting METAFONT font code. The default is 32.

       -n name
              specifies the name to use in the output file.

       -p pen_magnification
              specifies  how  much  the  line  width should be magnified compared to the original
              figure. The default is 1.

       -t top specifies the top of the whole coordinate system. The default is ypos.

       -x xmin
              specifies the minimum x coordinate value of the figure (inches). The default is 0.

       -y ymin
              specifies the minumum y coordinate value of the figure (inches). The default is 0.

       -X xmax
              specifies the maximum x coordinate value of the figure (inches). The default is 8.

       -Y ymax
              specifies the maximum y coordinate value of the figure (inches). The default is 8.

METAPOST OPTIONS

       -i file
              Include file content via \input-command.

       -I file
              Include file content as additional header.

       -o     Old mode (no latex).

       -p number
              Adds the line "prologues:=number" to the output.

PIC OPTIONS

       -p ext Enables the use of certain PIC extensions which are known to work  with  the  groff
              package;  compatibility  with  DWB  PIC is unknown.  The extensions enabled by each
              option are:

           arc     Allow ARC_BOX i.e. use rounded corners
           line    Use the 'line_thickness' value
           fill    Allow ellipses to be filled
           all     Use all of the above
           psfont  Don't convert Postscript fonts generic type
                   (useful for files going to be Ditroff'ed for
                   and printed on PS printer). DWB-compatible.
           allps   Use all of the above (i.e. "all" + "psfont")

PICTEX OPTIONS

       In order to include PiCTeX pictures into a document, it is necessary to  load  the  PiCTeX
       macros.

       PiCTeX  uses  TeX  integer register arithmetic to generate curves, and so it is very slow.
       PiCTeX draws curves by \put-ing the psymbol repeatedly, and so requires a large amount  of
       TeX's internal memory, and generates large DVI files.  The size of TeX's memory limits the
       number of plot symbols in a picture.  As a result, it is best to use  PiCTeX  to  generate
       small pictures.

       -E num Set  encoding  for  latex  text  translation  (0  no  translation,  1 ISO-8859-1, 2
              ISO-8859-2)

GBX OPTIONS (Gerber, RS-247-X)

       Typically you will wish to set the y scale to -1.  See -g for more information.

       -d [mm|in]
              Output dimensions should be assumed to be millimeters (mm)  or  inches  (in).   The
              default is millimeters.

       -p [pos|neg]
              Select  the  image  polarity.  For positive images lines drawn in the fig file will
              generate lines of material.  For negative images lines drawn in the fig  file  will
              result  in removed material.  Consider etching a chrome on glass transmission mask.
              Drawing lines in the fig file and choosing 'neg' will result in these  lines  being
              etched through the chrome, leaving transparent lines.

       -g <x scale>x<y scale>+<x offset>+<y offset>
              This  controls  the  geometry  of  the  output, scaling the dimensions as shown and
              applying the given offset.  Typically you will wish to  set  the  y  scale  to  -1,
              mirroring about the x axis.  This is because Gerber assumes the origin to be bottom
              left, while xfig selects top left.

       -f <n digits>.<n digits>
              This controls the number of digits  of  precision  before  and  after  the  implied
              decimal point.  With -f 5.3 the following number 12345678 corresponds to 12345.678.
              Whereas with -f 3.5 it corresponds to 123.45678.   The  default  is  for  3  places
              before  the  decimal point and 5 after.  This corresponds, to a range of 0 to 1m in
              10 micron increments.

       -i [on|off]
              Controls the output of comments describing the type of objects being  output.   The
              text  appears  as  comments  starting  with ## on each line in the output file.  By
              default this is on.

POSTSCRIPT, ENCAPSULATED POSTSCRIPT (EPS), and PDF OPTIONS

       With PostScript, xfig can be used to create multiple page figures Specify the -M option to
       produce  a  multi-page  output.   For posters, add -O to overlap the pages slightly to get
       around the problem of the unprintable area in most printers, then cut and paste the  pages
       together.   Due  to  memory limitations of most laser printers, the figure should not have
       large imported images (bitmaps). Great for text with very big letters.

       The EPS driver has the following differences from PostScript:
           o No showpage is generated because the output is meant to  be  imported  into  another
           program or document and not printed
           o The landscape/portrait options are ignored
           o The centering option is ignored
           o The multiple-page option is ignored
           o The paper size option is ignored
           o The x/y offset options are ignored

       The EPS driver has the following two special options:

       -B 'Wx [Wy X0 Y0]'
              This  specifies  that the bounding box of the EPS file should have the width Wx and
              the height Wy.  Note that it doesn't scale the figure to this size, it merely  sets
              the  bounding  box.   If a value less than or equal to 0 is specified for Wx or Wy,
              these are set to the width/height respectively of the figure. Origin is relative to
              screen  (0,0)  (upper-left).   Wx,  Wy, X0 and Y0 are interpreted in centimeters or
              inches depending on the measure given in the  fig-file.   Remember  to  put  either
              quotes (") or apostrophes (') to group the arguments to -B.

       -R 'Wx [Wy X0 Y0]'
              Same as the -B option except that X0 and Y0 is relative to the lower left corner of
              the figure.  Remember to put either quotes (") or  apostrophes  (')  to  group  the
              arguments to -R.

       The PDF driver uses all the PostScript options.

       Text  can now include various ISO-character codes above 0x7f, which is useful for language
       specific characters to be printed directly.  Not all ISO-characters are implemented.

       Color support: Colored objects created by  Fig  can  be  printed  on  a  color  postscript
       printer.  There  are  32 standard colors: black, yellow, white, gold, five shades of blue,
       four shades of green, four shades of cyan, four shades of red,  five  shades  of  magenta,
       four  shades  of  brown,  and  four shades of pink.  In addition there may be user-defined
       colors in the file.  See the xfig FORMAT3.2 file for the definition of these colors.  On a
       monochrome  printer,  colored  objects  will  be  mapped  into different grayscales by the
       printer.  Filled objects are printed using the given area fill and color.   There  are  21
       "shades"  going  from black to full saturation of the fill color, and 21 more "tints" from
       full saturation + 1 to white.  In addition, there are 16 patterns such as bricks, diagonal
       lines, crosshatch, etc.

       -A     Add an ASCII (EPSI) preview.

       -b borderwidth
              Make blank border around figure of width borderwidth.
              Not available in EPS.

       -C dummy_arg
              Add  a  color  *binary*  TIFF  preview  for  Microsoft  products that need a binary
              preview.  See also -T (monochrome preview).  A dummy argument must be supplied  for
              historical reasons.

       -c     option  centers the figure on the page.  The centering may not be accurate if there
              are texts in the fig_file that extends too far to the right of other objects.

       -e     option puts the figure against the edge (not centered) of the page.  Not  available
              in EPS.

       -F     Use  correct  font sizes (points) instead of the traditional size that xfig/fig2dev
              uses,  which  is  1/80  inch.   The  corresponding  xfig  command-line  option   is
              -correct_font_size.

       -g color
              Use color for the background.

       -l dummy_arg
              Generate  figure in landscape mode.  The dummy argument is ignored, but must appear
              on the command line for reasons of compatibility.  This option  will  override  the
              orientation specification in the file (for file versions 3.0 and higher).
              Not available in EPS.

       -M     Generate multiple pages if figure exceeds paper size.
              Not available in EPS.

       -N     Convert all colors to grayscale.

       -n name
              Set the Title part of the PostScript output to name.  This is useful when the input
              to fig2dev comes from standard input.

       -O     When used with -M, overlaps the pages slightly to get around  the  problem  of  the
              unprintable area in most printers.
              Not available in EPS.

       -p dummy_arg
              Generate  figure  in portrait mode.  The dummy argument is ignored, but must appear
              on the command line for reasons of compatibility.  This option  will  override  the
              orientation  specification in the file (for file versions 3.0 and higher).  This is
              the default for Fig files of version 2.1 or lower.
              Not available in EPS.

       -T     Add a monochrome *binary* TIFF preview for Microsoft products that  need  a  binary
              preview.  See also -C (color preview).

       -x offset
              shift  the figure in the X direction by offset units (1/72 inch).  A negative value
              shifts the figure to the left and a positive value to the right.
              Not available in EPS.

       -y offset
              shift the figure in the Y direction by offset units (1/72 inch).  A negative  value
              shifts the figure up and a positive value down.
              Not available in EPS.

       -z papersize
              Sets the papersize.  Not available in EPS.
              Available paper sizes are:
                  "Letter" (8.5" x 11" also "A"),
                  "Legal" (11" x 14")
                  "Ledger" (11" x 17"),
                  "Tabloid" (17" x 11", really Ledger in Landscape mode),
                  "A" (8.5" x 11" also "Letter"),
                  "B" (11" x 17" also "Ledger"),
                  "C" (17" x 22"),
                  "D" (22" x 34"),
                  "E" (34" x 44"),
                  "A4" (21  cm x  29.7cm),
                  "A3" (29.7cm x  42  cm),
                  "A2" (42  cm x  59.4cm),
                  "A1" (59.4cm x  84.1cm),
                  "A0" (84.1cm x 118.9cm),
                  and "B5" (18.2cm x 25.7cm).

PSTEX OPTIONS

       The  pstex  language  is  a  variant of ps which suppresses formatted (special) text.  The
       pstex_t language has the complementary behavior: it generates only the LaTeX special  text
       and  the  commands  necessary to position special text, and to overlay the PostScript file
       generated using pstex.  These two drivers can be used to generate a figure which  combines
       the flexibility of PostScript graphics with LaTeX text formatting of special text.

       -F     Use  correct  font sizes (points) instead of the traditional size that xfig/fig2dev
              uses,  which  is  1/80  inch.   The  corresponding  xfig  command-line  option   is
              -correct_font_size.

       -g color
              Use color for the background.

       -n name
              sets  the  Title  part  of  the PostScript output to name.  This is useful when the
              input to fig2dev comes from standard input.

PSTEX_T OPTIONS

       The pstex_t language produces only the LaTeX special text and the  commands  necessary  to
       position  special  text,  and  to overlay the PostScript file generated using pstex.  (see
       above)

       -E num Set encoding for  latex  text  translation  (0  no  translation,  1  ISO-8859-1,  2
              ISO-8859-2)

       -F     Don't  set  the  font  face,  series,  and  style;  only  set  it's  size  and  the
              baselineskip. By default, fig2dev sets all 5 font  parameters  when  it  puts  some
              text.  The  disadvantage  is  that you can't set the font from your LaTeX document.
              With this option on, you can set the font from your LaTeX document (like  "\sfshape
              \input picture.eepic").

       -p file
              specifies  the name of the PostScript file to be overlaid.  If not set or its value
              is null then no PS file will be inserted.

PSTricks OPTIONS

       The PSTricks driver provides full LaTeX text and math formatting for XFig drawings without
       overlaying  separate  outputs  as in the PSTEX methods.  The output matches the quality of
       output of the PostScript driver except for text, where the Latex font selection  mechanism
       is  used as for other fig2dev LaTeX drivers. In addition, text is rendered black, although
       font color-changing LaTex code can be embedded in the  drawing.   The  generated  PSTricks
       code  is  meant  to  be readable.  Each command stands alone, not relying on global option
       state variables.  Thus the user can easily use XFig to rough out a PSTricks drawing,  then
       finish by hand editing.

       To  use  the  driver's  output,  give the command "\usepackage{pstricks}" in your document
       preamble.  The graphicx and pstricks-add packages may also be  required.   The  former  is
       used  for  bitmap  graphics  and the second for complex line styles and/or hollow PSTricks
       arrows (with the -R 1 option).  The driver will tell you which packages  are  needed.   In
       the  document  body,  include  the  figure with "\input{pstfile}" where pstfile.tex is the
       output file.  Use the XFig special flag to have text passed  as-is  to  LaTeX.   For  non-
       special  text,  the same mechanism as the LaTeX and epic driver mechanism is used to match
       font specs, but this is imprecise.

       Known bugs and limitations.
              PSTricks support for join styles is version dependent. Raw postscript  is  inserted
              with  "\pstVerb"  for  old versions when other than angle joins are needed.  The -t
              option controls this behavior. PSTricks does not support rotated ellipses directly,
              so  a  rput command is emitted that rotates and locates a horizontal ellipse.  This
              makes a problem with hatch patterns, which are moved and  rotated  along  with  the
              ellipse.   Hatch  rotation  is  fixed  by a counter-rotation, but the origin is not
              adjusted, so registration with adjacent hatch patterns will be incorrect.   Flipped
              bitmap  graphics  use  an  undocumented feature of the graphicx package: a negative
              height flips the image vertically.  This appears to work  reliably.   However,  you
              may  want  to  flip  graphics  with  another  program before including them in Xfig
              drawings just to be sure.  With the -p option, the driver attempts to convert  non-
              EPS  pictures  to EPS with the TeX distribution's bmeps program, but bmeps does not
              know about very many file formats including gif.

       -G dummy_arg
              Draws a standard PSTricks  grid  in  light  gray,  ignoring  the  size  parameters,
              numbered in PSTricks units.

       -l weight
              Sets  a  line  weight  factor that is multiplied by the actual Fig line width.  The
              default value 0.5 roughly matches the output of the PS driver.

       -n 0|1|2|3
              Sets environment type.  Default 0 creates a \picture environment with bounding  box
              exactly  enclosing  the  picture  (but  see  -x  and -y ).  A 1 emits bare PSTricks
              commands with no environment at all, which can be used with \input{commands} inside
              an  existing  \pspicture.   A  2 emits a complete LaTeX document.  A 3 also emits a
              complete LaTeX document but attempts to set the PSTricks unit to fit a  7.5  by  10
              inch (portrait aspect) box.

       -P     Shorthand for -n 3
               .

       -p dir Attempts  to  run  the  bmeps  program  to translate picture files to EPS, which is
              required by PSTricks.  The translated files go in dir , which  must  already  exist
              (the  driver will not create it). Moreover, (BIG CAVEAT HERE) the driver overwrites
              files  with  impunity  in  this  directory!   Don't  put  your  stuff  here.    The
              includegraphics  commands  in the output file refer to this directory.  Even if the
              -p option is not used, includegrpahics commands follow  this  convention  with  the
              default  directory  ./eps  .   In  this  case,  the  user  must  do the conversions
              independently.  The bmeps program is part of  the  standard  TeX  distribution.  It
              converts  the  following  formats  to  EPS: png jpg pnm tif.  You can see the bmeps
              command with the -v option.

       -R 0|1|2
              Sets arrow style.  With the default style 0, Fig arrows are converted to lines  and
              polygons.   With  style  1,  the Fig arrowhead dimensions are converted to PSTricks
              arrowhead dimensions and PSTricks arrowhead options  are  emitted.   Hollow  arrows
              will require the additional package pstricks-add
               .  With style 2, PSTricks arrowhead options are emitted with no dimensions at all,
              and arrowhead size may be controlled globally with psset
               .

       -S scale
              Scales the image according to the same convention as the EPIC driver, i.e., to size
              scale
               /12.

       -t version
              Provides the driver with PSTricks version number so output can match expected LaTeX
              input.

       -v     Print verbose warnings and extra comments in the output file.  Information provided
              includes font substitution details, the bmeps commands used for picture conversion,
              if any, and one comment per Fig object in the output.

       -x marginsize
              Adds marginsize on the left and right of the PStricks bounding  box.   By  default,
              the box exactly encloses the image.

       -y marginsize
              Adds  marginsize  on  the top and bottom of the PStricks bounding box.  By default,
              the box exactly encloses the image.

       -z 0|1|2
              Sets font handling option.  Default option 0 attempts to honor Fig font  names  and
              sizes, finding the best match with a standard LaTeX font.  Option 1 sets LaTeX font
              size only.  Option 2 issues no font commands at all.

PSTEX_P and PDFTEX_P OPTIONS

       The pstex_p language has the same intention as the combination of pstex and pstex_t.   The
       only reason to use pstex_p is that you have partially overlayed texts.  pstex_p splits the
       Fig file concerning the depths of existing texts. Because of it's  necessary  to  get  the
       resulting  size of the figure for the pdf document you have to specify the target document
       format (i.e. using pstex_p rsp. pdftex_p).
       Two files results by using this language:

       1) A bash script for creating and  removing  the  necessary  graphics  files.   Extension:
          .create

       2)  The  latex code which includes all graphics files and special texts. Content is put to
          stdout.

       The pstex_p driver has the following special options:

       -p basename
          specifies the basename of the files to be created  (see  (1)  above).  This  option  is
          mandatory.

       -d dmag
          Set a separate magnification for the length of line dashes to dmag.

       -E num
          Set encoding for latex text translation (0 no translation, 1 ISO-8859-1, 2 ISO-8859-2)

       -l lwidth
          Sets the threshold between LaTeX thin and thick lines to lwidth pixels.  LaTeX supports
          only two different line width: \thinlines and \thicklines.  Lines of width greater than
          lwidth  pixels  are drawn as \thicklines.  Also affects the size of dots in dotted line
          style.  The default is 1.

       -v Verbose mode.

       -F Don't set the font face, series, and style; only set it's size and the baselineskip. By
          default, fig2dev sets all 5 font parameters when it puts some text. The disadvantage is
          that you can't set the font from your LaTeX document. With this option on, you can  set
          the font from your LaTeX document (like "\sfshape \input picture.eepic").

TK and PTK OPTIONS (tcl/tk and Perl/tk)

       -l dummy_arg
              Generate  figure in landscape mode.  The dummy argument is ignored, but must appear
              on the command line for reasons of compatibility.  This option  will  override  the
              orientation specification in the file (for file versions 3.0 and higher).

       -p dummy_arg
              Generate  figure  in portrait mode.  The dummy argument is ignored, but must appear
              on the command line for reasons of compatibility.  This option  will  override  the
              orientation  specification in the file (for file versions 3.0 and higher).  This is
              the default for Fig files of version 2.1 or lower.

       -P     Generate canvas of full page size instead of using the bounding box of the figure's
              objects. The default is to use only the bounding box.

       -z papersize
              Sets the papersize.  See the POSTSCRIPT OPTIONS for available paper sizes.  This is
              only used when the -P option (use full page) is used.

BUGS and RESTRICTIONS

       Please send bug reports, fixes, new features etc. to:
       xfig-bugs@epb1.lbl.gov (Brian V. Smith)

       Arc-boxes are not supported for the tk output language, and only  X  bitmap  pictures  are
       supported because of the canvas limitation in tk.

       Picture objects are not scaled with the magnification factor for tk output.

       Because  tk  scales  canvas  items according to the X display resolution, polygons, lines,
       etc. may be scaled differently than imported pictures (bitmaps)  which  aren't  scaled  at
       all.

       Rotated  text  is  only  supported  in  the  IBM-GL (HP/GL) and PostScript (including eps)
       languages.

       In pdftex_p language fig2dev can not determine the exact sizes of the special texts set by
       pdflatex  afterwards.  If these texts are bigger than expected the calculated bounding box
       might be too small so that some texts passes over the figure boundaries.  If  this  happen
       you  have  to  put  an  invisible  rectangle  (line width 0) around the text or the entire
       figure.
