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-ori-
       ented 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, gif, ibmgl,  jpeg,  latex,  map
	      (HTML image map), mf (MetaFont), mp (MetaPost), mmp (Multi-Meta-
	      Post), pcx, pdf, pdftex, pdftex_t, pic, pictex,  png,  ppm,  ps,
	      pstex,  pstex_t, 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



		      Version 3.2.5 Feb 2007			1





FIG2DEV(1)					       FIG2DEV(1)


	      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 lan-
	      guage 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.


       -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  lan-
	      guage, 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	arrow-
	      heads.  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  Califor-
       nia, Davis.

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


       -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 =



		      Version 3.2.5 Feb 2007			3





FIG2DEV(1)					       FIG2DEV(1)


	      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 param-
	      eters 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  \rotate-
	      box  command.   So, you will need to include "\usepackage{graph-
	      ics}" in the preamble of your LaTeX document.

	      If this option is not set, then rotated text will be  set	 hori-
	      zontally.



       -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



		      Version 3.2.5 Feb 2007			4





FIG2DEV(1)					       FIG2DEV(1)


	      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 "\thin-
	      lines" 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 poten-
	      tial 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	(with-
	      out) 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



		      Version 3.2.5 Feb 2007			5





FIG2DEV(1)					       FIG2DEV(1)


       -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 parame-
	      ters 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 poly-
       gons.  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 tradi-
	      tional 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.



		      Version 3.2.5 Feb 2007			6





FIG2DEV(1)					       FIG2DEV(1)


       -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  pro-
	      vides 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"  fac-
	      tor.  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:	\thin-
	      lines  and \thicklines.  Lines of width greater than lwidth pix-
	      els 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



		      Version 3.2.5 Feb 2007			7





FIG2DEV(1)					       FIG2DEV(1)


       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 gener-
       ate 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 avail-
       able 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).



		      Version 3.2.5 Feb 2007			8





FIG2DEV(1)					       FIG2DEV(1)


	      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  repeat-
       edly, and so requires a large amount of TeX's internal memory, and gen-
       erates 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)

POSTSCRIPT, ENCAPSULATED POSTSCRIPT (EPS), and PDF OPTIONS
       With PostScript, xfig can be used to create multiple page figures Spec-
       ify 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 unprint-
       able 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 let-
       ters.

       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 col-
       ors.  On a monochrome printer, colored objects will be mapped into dif-
       ferent 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 satu-
       ration + 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 availble 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 availble 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 com-
	      patibility.  This option will override the orientation  specifi-
	      cation in the file (for file versions 3.0 and higher).
	      Not availble in EPS.

       -M     Generate multiple pages if figure exceeds paper size.
	      Not availble 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 availble 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 com-
	      patibility.   This option will override the orientation specifi-
	      cation in the file (for file versions 3.0 and higher).  This  is

FIG2DEV(1)					       FIG2DEV(1)


	      the default for Fig files of version 2.1 or lower.
	      Not availble 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 availble 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 availble in EPS.

       -z papersize
	      Sets the papersize.  Not availble 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),

		  "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	 (spe-
       cial)  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 format-
       ting 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.

FIG2DEV(1)					       FIG2DEV(1)


       -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 com-
       mands 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 param-
	      eters 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.


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 com-
	      patibility.  This option will override the orientation  specifi-
	      cation 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 com-
	      patibility.   This option will override the orientation specifi-
	      cation 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.
