<title>UK TeX FAQ -- question label fig</title>
</head><body>
<h3>Fig, a (La)TeX-friendly drawing package</h3>
<p><i>(X)Fig</i> is a menu driven tool that allows you to
draw objects on the screen of an X workstation; <i>transfig</i>
is a set of tools which translate the code <i>fig</i>. 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.
<p>There’s no explicit port of <i>xfig</i> to windows (although it is
believed to work under <i>cygwin</i> with their X-windows system).
However, the program
<a href="http://tech-www.informatik.uni-hamburg.de/applets/javafig/"><i>jfig</a></i>
is thought by many to be an acceptable substitute, written in Java.
