Fig4LaTeX is appropriate for projects that include +figures with graphics created by XFig -- in particular, graphics which use +the combined PS/LaTeX (or PDF/LaTeX) export method. When such a figure includes +text elements that are marked with the "special" flag, those texts are actually +rendered by LaTeX and only the strictly graphical elements of the figure are +rendered by including an image. See the example document, included in this +directory which has been cunningly named "example.tex". + +In a large project one would typically place the .fig files in a seperate +sub-directory. In "example.tex" the figures are in a sub-directory named +"figs/" -- changing into that directory and running the fig4latex script +produces a Makefile, one then runs "make" in order to create the .tex and +.eps (or .pdf) files which contain the graphic. + +Fig4latex has been (minimally) tested in an Ubuntu linux environment. +The prerequisites are Perl, fig2dev and Make, so it could probably be made to +work in other environments. + +Usage: fig4latex [-d dir] [-m NUM] [-p] [-l] [-h] + + -d DIR Directory containing the figures (a path relative to + the directory where your LaTeX source files are). + -m NUM Magnification factor. + -p Pdflatex -- create makefile for use with pdflatex -- the images + get converted to pdf format. + -l Latex -- create makefile for use with (regular) latex -- the images + are exported as eps format.
