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.
