NAME
       transfig - creates a makefile for portable LaTeX figures

SYNOPSIS
       transfig	 [ -L language ] [ -M makefile ] [ -T texfile ] [ -I macrofile
       ] [ -V ] [ control_specs figfile ... ]

DESCRIPTION
       Transfig creates a makefile to translate figures described in Fig  code
       or PIC into a specified LaTeX graphics language.	 PIC files are identi‐
       fied by the suffix ".pic"; Fig files can be specified  either  with  or
       without	the  suffix  ".fig"  .	Transfig also creates a TeX macro file
       appropriate to the target language.

OPTIONS
       The language specifier must be one of box, cgm, eepic,  eepicemu,  emf,
       epic,  eps,  ge,	 gif,  ibmgl, jpeg, latex, map, mf, mmp, mp, pcx, pdf,
       pdftex, pdftex_t, pic, pictex, png, ppm,	 ps,  psfig,  pstex,  pstex_t,
       ptk,  sld,  textyl,  tiff,  tk,	tpic, xbm, xpm or null.	 The specifier
       psfig is like the ps specifier, except that it make use	of  the	 psfig
       macro  package.	The specifier pstex is like psfig, except that it uses
       LaTeX to process formatted (special) text.  The specifier null  results
       in  the	figures being replaced by empty boxes of the appropriate size.
       If no language is specified, epic is the default.

       The names of the makefile and TeX macro file can be set with the -M and
       -T  options.   The  default  names  are	"Makefile" and "transfig.tex",
       respectively.  If there is already an existing makefile in  the	direc‐
       tory,  transfig	first renames it to makefile~.	The same holds for any
       existing TeX macro file.	 If the -I option is specified, then a command
       to  read in macrofile is	     inserted into the TeX macro file.	If the
       -V option is specified, the program version number is printed only.

       Control specifiers are

       -m mag set the magnification at which the figure is  rendered  (default
	      1.0).

       -f font
	      set  the	default	 font  family  used  for text objects (default
	      "rm").

       -s fontsize
	      set the default font size (in points) for text objects  (default
	      11*mag).

       -o option
	      pass the specified option string through to fig2dev.

       If there is no scaling, the default font is an eleven point roman font.
       Language and control specifiers may occur more than once;  they	affect
       the  translation	 of  files which appear to their right in the argument
       list.  If no files are specified, then "*.fig" is assumed.
