Transfig creates a makefile to translate figures described in Fig code or
PIC into a specified LaTeX graphics
language. 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
appropriate to the target language.
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 directory, 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.
