Fig4LaTeX is designed to simplify management of the figures in a large LaTeX
document. 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. (this is the default)
-h Help -- print this message and quit.
