We have three packages here which support LaTeX picture object editing:

TeXdraw:

    platform(s) :   X10 (or X11 using X10toX11)

    output      :   LaTeX native picture environment

    notes       :   - objects are restricted to sizes/orientations
                      that LaTeX's native picture mode supports

LaGrafix:

    platform(s) :   Macintosh

    output      :   LaTeX native picture environment

    notes       :   - objects are restricted to sizes/orientations
                      that LaTeX's native picture mode supports

Fig:

    platform(s) :   X11 (xfig 2.0), SunTools, CMU Andrew Window Manager
    output      :   custom fig file format

    notes       :   - objects may be restricted to sizes/orientations
                      that LaTeX's native picture mode supports

                    - psfig includes tools to convert from fig output
                      file to various latex picture environments but
                      not back to fig's file format.
