Introduction

JFlap is an excellent piece of software for experimenting with finite
state machines, Turing machines and exploring many aspects of the
theory of computation. JFlap2TikZ is a groovy script that converts a
JFlap jff file representing a finite automaton, push down automaton,
or Turing machine to LaTeX file depicting the automaton graphically
using TikZ.

Requirements

To use JFlap2TikZ you will need Java installed. Additionally you may
find it useful to have groovy installed as well. You will need to
download either JFlap2TikZ.jar (if you only have Java installed) or
JFlap2TikZ.groovy (if you also have groovy installed).

Usage

JFlap2TikZ is invoked from the command line, using Java

java -jar JFlap2TikZ.jar example.jff

or using groovy

groovy JFlap2TikZ.groovy example.jff

Note that in either case the output will be written to the
console. Redirect the output or copy and paste as needed. Here is the
full usage information.


usage: JFlap2TikZ [-g] [-h] [-r] [-s scale] [-z size] filename
 -g,--grid             Round positions so that they are on a grid
 -h,--help             Show usage information and quit
 -r,--rotate           rotate labels along edges
 -s,--scale <arg>      1 pixel in JFlap = scale points in LaTeX (default
                       is 1.0)
 -z,--gridsize <arg>   Set the spacing of the grid (default is 20.0)
