NAME

       transfig - creates a makefile for portable LaTeX figures

SYNOPSIS

       transfig [ -L language ] [ -M makefile ] [ -T texfile ] [ -I macrofile ] [ -V ] [ control_specs figfile ... ]

DESCRIPTION

       Transfig  creates  a  makefile  to  translate figures described in Fig code or PIC into a specified LaTeX graphics language.  PIC files are
       identified by the suffix ".pic"; Fig files can be specified either with or without the suffix ".fig" .  Transfig also creates a	TeX  macro
       file appropriate to the target language.

OPTIONS

       The  language  specifier must be one of box, cgm, eepic, eepicemu, emf, epic, eps, ge, gif, ibmgl, jpeg, latex, map, mf, mmp, mp, pcx, pdf,
       pdftex, pdftex_t, pic, pictex, png, ppm, ps, psfig, pstex, pstex_t, ptk, sld, textyl, tiff, tk, tpic, xbm,  xpm	or  null.   The  specifier
       psfig is like the ps specifier, except that it make use of the psfig macro package.  The specifier pstex is like psfig, except that it uses
       LaTeX to process formatted (special) text.  The specifier null results in the figures being replaced by	empty  boxes  of  the  appropriate
       size.  If no language is specified, epic is the default.

       The  names  of the makefile and TeX macro file can be set with the -M and -T options.  The default names are "Makefile" and "transfig.tex",
       respectively.  If there is already an existing makefile in the directory, transfig first renames it to makefile~.  The same holds  for  any
       existing  TeX macro file.  If the -I option is specified, then a command to read in macrofile is      inserted into the TeX macro file.	If
       the -V option is specified, the program version number is printed only.

       Control specifiers are

       -m mag set the magnification at which the figure is rendered (default 1.0).

       -f font
	      set the default font family used for text objects (default "rm").

       -s fontsize
	      set the default font size (in points) for text objects (default 11*mag).

       -o option
	      pass the specified option string through to fig2dev.

       If there is no scaling, the default font is an eleven point roman font.	Language and control specifiers may occur  more  than  once;  they
       affect the translation of files which appear to their right in the argument list.  If no files are specified, then "*.fig" is assumed.
