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. Martin.
