Does anybody know a public domain drawing tool running under X that produces TeX or LaTeX output? Thanks in advance Helmut Kaufmann

pfuetz@agd.fhg.de (03/01/91)
The version of "fig" for X is called xfig (how else :-) ) and can be found
at nearly every site that keeps an archive of the comp.sources.x newsgroup.
Amoung others there is uunet.uu.net (X/contrib/xfig-2.0.pl9.tar.Z 362887 Byte)
You also need "transfig" which converts the output of fig into PiCTeX, LaTeX,
PostScript and some other languages. This can be found on svax.cs.cornell.edu
(pub/fig/* , my index is from Nov, 6th and so perhaps a bit outdated, but
there are some files amoung them transfig.tar.Z and transfig-man.dvi)
Hope this helps
Matthias

I've used xfig and transfig (to convert to LaTeX) for some things that I've done. I'm still fairly new to all this, so I found that it needed some hand touchup after converting to picture envronment code. Transfig also supports some of the other picture-type environments (I'm not too familiar with these tough). -- =============================================================================== Luke: "I don't believe it!"

While xfig does precisely that job, I found it hard to use to get good pictures. Lately I have started using idraw comes with X11R4 which produces PostScript files that can be included using epsf macros and dvips. If this is close enough to your needs, then try it out.

You might try tgif ... it generates EPS that seems to integrate nicely
with some of the PostScript inclusion \specials in .dvi->PostScript
converters.
The latest version seems to be 1.22. I found it on uunet.uu.net.

I know this is what you asked, but ...
I use InterView's idraw drawing program, psfig.tex (or .sty) macropackage and
dvips driver for PostScript. Idraw generates PostScript files, which can be
included to document with \psfig{file=picture.ps} command. It is easy and
results are great.
idraw can be found precompiled for several Unix machines from
interviews.stanford.edu (36.22.0.175).
