NAME

       transfig - creates a makefile for portable LaTeX figures

SYNOPSIS

       transfig  [ -L language ] [ -M makefile ] [ -T texfile ] [ -I macrofile
       ] [ -V ] [ control_specs figfile ... ]

DESCRIPTION

       Transfig creates a makefile to translate figures described in Fig  code
       or  PIC  into  a  specified  LaTeX  graphics  language.   PIC files are
       identified by the suffix ".pic"; Fig files can be specified either with
       or  without the suffix ".fig" .  Transfig also creates a TeX macro file
       appropriate to the target language.

OPTIONS

       The language specifier must be one of box, cgm, eepic,  eepicemu,  emf,
       epic,  eps,  ge,  gif,  ibmgl, jpeg, latex, map, mf, mmp, mp, pcx, pdf,
       pdftex, pdftex_t, pic, pictex, png, ppm,  ps,  psfig,  pstex,  pstex_t,
       ptk,  sld,  textyl,  tiff,  tk,  tpic, xbm, xpm or null.  The specifier
       psfig is like the ps specifier, except that it make use  of  the  psfig
       macro  package.  The specifier pstex is like psfig, except that it uses
       LaTeX to process formatted (special) text.  The specifier null  results
       in  the  figures being replaced by empty boxes of the appropriate size.
       If no language is specified, epic is the default.

       The names of the makefile and TeX macro file can be set with the -M and
       -T  options.   The  default  names  are  "Makefile" and "transfig.tex",
       respectively.   If  there  is  already  an  existing  makefile  in  the
       directory,  transfig first renames it to makefile~.  The same holds for
       any existing TeX macro file.  If the -I option  is  specified,  then  a
       command  to read in macrofile is      inserted into the TeX macro file.
       If the -V option is specified, the program version  number  is  printed
       only.

       Control specifiers are

       -m mag set  the  magnification at which the figure is rendered (default
              1.0).

       -f font
              set the default font  family  used  for  text  objects  (default
              "rm").

       -s fontsize
              set  the default font size (in points) for text objects (default
              11*mag).

       -o option
              pass the specified option string through to fig2dev.

       If there is no scaling, the default font is an eleven point roman font.
       Language  and  control specifiers may occur more than once; they affect
       the translation of files which appear to their right  in  the  argument
       list.  If no files are specified, then "*.fig" is assumed.
