to CTAN.
Name of contribution: fig2vect-1.0.0
Location on CTAN: /support/fig2vect
Summary description: Yet another Fig to vector converter
License type: bsd
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The fig2vect program converts figures from jFig, XFig and
WinFig to MetaPost, EPS, PDF, TeX and SVG.
The primary web site for source and docu is
http://fig2vect.sourceforge.net .
Program highlights:
- Designed for use with LaTeX/pdfLaTeX. Handling of
special text is left up to LaTeX, for non-special text
you can choose whether or not to use LaTeX.
For text handled by LaTeX you have three choices:
- Use the fonts exactly as specified in the Fig file.
- Convert to use fonts in the same features
(serif/sans-serif/monospaced, normal/bold,
upright/italic).
This allows to use the same font families in
the graphics as in the document where the
graphics is included.
- Write no font selection commands (text contains
commands itself if necessary).
- X-splines are approximated by a sequence of Bezier
spline segments.
- Fill patterns are drawn by vector graphics operations.
- Image width and height are found by inspecting
graphics elements (except texts), the paper format
name is not used here.
