fig2vect – Yet another Fig to vector converter
This package is now distributed as part of the
dktools bundle.
The fig2vect program converts figures from jFig,
XFig and
WinFig to MetaPost, EPS, PDF, TeX and SVG.
Program highlights:
– Designed for use with LaTeX/pdfLaTeX. Handling of
special text is left up to LaTeX, for non-special text
you can choose whether or not to use LaTeX.
For text handled by LaTeX you have three choices:
– Use the fonts exactly as specified in the Fig file.
– Convert to use fonts in the same features
(serif/sans-serif/monospaced, normal/bold,
upright/italic).
This allows to use the same font families in
the graphics as in the document where the
graphics is included.
– Write no font selection commands (text contains
commands itself if necessary).
– X-splines are approximated by a sequence of Bezier
spline segments.
– Fill patterns are drawn by vector graphics operations.
– Image width and height are found by inspecting
graphics elements (except texts), the paper format
name is not used here.
