[comp.windows.x] YAX: yet another xfig

goddard@b.gp.cs.cmu.edu (Nigel Goddard) (02/22/90)

Well guess what.  I've been hacking xfig 1.4.6 as well.  This version
has area-fill, pen-fill, multiple fonts, line-thickness, object
stacking (what's on top of what), filled and v-arrows, arrow-sizes,
selection and editing of multiple objects simultaneously, opaque
and transparent off-dashes, opaque and transparent rectangles, hollow
lines, compounds that auto-resize to form bounding boxes of contents.
But I broke colour.

Too many cooks spoil the broth.  I'll put this somewhere publicly
ftp'able.  Anyone care to suggest a name?  Currently I'm callin it
xfig version 1.5, but with Brian's xfig version 2.0 out there,
things could get very confusing.  Maybe I'll use yax for Yet Another Xfig.

We need someone to integrate all this, or rewrite it.
