Fig, a (La)TeX-friendly drawing package
(X)Fig is a menu driven tool that allows you to
draw objects on the screen of an X workstation; transfig
is a set of tools which translate the code fig. The list
of export formats is very long, and includes Metafont and MetaPost,
Encapsulated PostScript and PDF, as well as combinations that wrap
a graphics format in a LaTeX import file.
There’s no explicit port of xfig to windows (although it is
believed to work under cygwin with their X-windows system).
However, the program
jfig
is thought by many to be an acceptable substitute, written in Java.
