[comp.text.tex] Is there an Image to Fig converter ?

Dear all

I am looking for a utility which will allow me to combine images, text, and 
plots and manipulate them the same way you manipulate objects in xfig. I have
the following packages

	gnuplot
	pbm/pbmplus
	khoros
	xfig
	tiff
	Utah toolkit
	fbm

Is anyone aware of any public domanin S/W which runs on a Sun 4 Sparc, under unix,
X11-R4 and allows me to do the maipulations ? Anything that converts the output 
of any of the above into the input of some package which will allow me 
to manipulate the resulting output the way I have described will be great. I 
know gnuplot already supports Fig format so that's where I have started. What
I do now is to convert everything to postscript and use LaTeX for the manipulations.
This is very time consumning and generally if you change one little thing you
practically have to start all over again. 

	thanks in advance
