MFpic is a set of TeX and METAFONT +macros for drawings. + +Current version: + +fig2mfpic 0.24 alpha is designed for mfpic.tex version 0.2.5 (as at CTAN) +and graphbase 0.2 fig 2a. The graphbase (0.1.13.1) of mfpic 0.2.5 does +NOT work with fig2mfpic. + + +Manifest: eight (8) files: + + 296 Jun 10 22:34 Makefile A make file for the "cc" C compiler. + 2896 Jun 16 13:35 README This introductory file. + 386 Jun 15 20:03 TODO What I'd like fig2mfpic to do, in future. +52714 Jun 16 13:30 fig2mfpic.c ANSI/traditional C source for fig2mfpic. +23444 Jun 16 13:33 graphbase.mf Modified graphbase.mf, version 0.2 fig 2a. +11511 Oct 12 1993 mfpic.tex mfpic.tex 0.2.5, from mfpic distribution. + 2233 Jun 2 22:42 tidied.fig Sample Fig file, every major Fig object type. + 2689 Jun 1 22:08 various.fig Like tidied.fig, plus unknown object types. + +Usage: + +After making fig2mfpic, if you type just the command `fig2mfpic', as: + + fig2mfpic + +then fig2mfpic will issue a usage summary to stderr, as follows: + +%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% +usage: fig2mfpic [infile] [... infile] [> outfile] + [-?] Help request + [-d] List input file, with line numbers + [-code=<integer>] First character's code : not effective + [-pen=<real>] Default pen width (pt) + [-u=<none>] Output unit name + [-xscale=<real>] X unit (in output units) + [-yscale=<real>] Y unit (in output units) + [-xneg=<real>] Most negative X value (X units) + [-xpos=<real>] Most positive X value (X units) + [-yneg=<real>] Most negative Y value (Y units) + [-ypos=<real>] Most positive Y value (Y units) + [-top=<real>] Top of drawing (Y units) + [-mf=<string>] Output METAFONT file + [-tex=<string>] mfpic TeX drawing macros file + [-log=<string>] fig2mfpic log file +If an "infile" is "-", then standard input is read. +The mfpic TeX drawing file goes to standard output. +Messages, such as this, go to standard error. +%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% + +Typical use of fig2mfpic is exemplified by: + + fig2mfpic various.fig > various.tex + +Error messages are recorded in the log file, which is called +`fig2mfpic.log' unless you give it another name by the -log= option. +If there are no error messages, then the log file has a size of zero +bytes (at least on unix). + +Impressions and advice are of course welcome. + +Best wishes! +Geoffrey Tobin |
