I have put the new version of xfig on expo.lcs.mit.edu (18.30.0.212)
in the contrib/ directory, in the file xfig-2.0.tar.Z.
Be sure to set binary mode when retrieving it.
I have also mailed the sources to x-sources, so it should appear on
comp.sources.x sometime soon.
NOTE: Version 2.0 of xfig no longer supports SunView! If you wish to
retain compatibility with SunView, use version 1.4.3.
Added Features:
===============
o Separate version number for program vs file format (protocol now 1.4X)
o Area fill for circles, boxes, etc. with 20 different gray shades
for Postscript output
o 35 different fonts - the 35 fonts normally included with the Laserwriters
can be used in figures at any point size. If there is a corresponding
font in X, then the text is shown in that font on the screen.
o text can be virtually any point size
o left, center and right justification of text
o rounded-corner boxes with any radius of the corners
"pen" component of the object is used for the radius (in pixels)
o different line thicknesses
o lower button panel for quick access to "save", "chdir", etc. functions
o button to change the line thickness of an existing object
o button to change the line type of an existing object
o portrait or landscape print mode
NOTE: I will support these features as best I can, but I cannot promise
anything, as my normal workload is pretty full.
