>From the man page for xfig:
 
     Xfig is a menu-driven tool that allows the user to draw  and
     manipulate  objects  interactively  in  an X window. It runs
     under X version 11 and requires a three-button mouse.
..
     The output from xfig can be printed in several ways:
..
     LaTeX -     fig2dev -L latex translates xfig to  LaTeX  pic-
                 ture environment commands which can be processed
                 along with other LaTeX commands.
 
     Postscript -
                 fig2dev -L ps produces a postscript output.
 
     Pic -       fig2dev -L pic produces a pic output.
 
     PiCTeX -    fig2dev -L pictex produces PiCTeX output.   This
                 contains macros that can be used with the PiCTeX
                 environment under TeX or LaTeX.
 
     Others -    fig2dev has options for these  other  languages:
                 box, epic, eepic, and eepicemu.
..
     The TransFig package is available  from  svax.cs.cornell.edu
     (directory  /pub/fig)  and from sun.soe.clarkson.edu (direc-
     tory /pub/transfig) via anonymous ftp.  It is also available
     by mail from the Clarkson archive server.  To find out about
     using the  server,  send  the  one-line  message  "help"  to
     archive-server@sun.soe.clarkson.edu.
