TRANSFIG(1)TRANSFIG(1)NAMEtransfig - creates a makefile for portable LaTeX figures
SYNOPSIStransfig [ -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 lan-
guage. PIC files are identified by the suffix ".pic"; Fig
files can be specified either with or without the suffix
".fig" . Transfig also creates a TeX macro file appropri-
ate to the target language.
OPTIONS
The language specifier must be either epic, eepic, eep-
icemu, latex, pictex, ps, psfig, pstex, textyl, tpic, 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 "Make-
file" and "transfig.tex", respectively. 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 ren-
dered (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.
