README for fig2mfpic 0.24 alpha version, Thu 16 June 1994.
----------------------------------------------------------
Author: Geoffrey Tobin.
Email: G.Tobin@ee.latrobe.edu.au
Address: Department of Electronic Engineering,
La Trobe University,
Bundoora VIC 3083,
Australia.
Purpose:
fig2mfpic is a program for converting Fig 2.1 graphics language into
an approximate equivalent in MFpic. 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!
