fig2ps 1.4.1 (Stable branch)
fig2ps is a script for converting xfig files to PS or PDF, processing text using LaTeX. It is intended to help typeset good quality documents, where the font on the pictures is exactly the same as the font in the text. The advantage it has over some other xfig exporters such as eepic is that you compile the picture only once and not every time you compile your LaTeX file, giving a great gain in speed with complex pictures. It should work with LyX. License: GNU General Public License (GPL) Changes:
This releases features the fixing of a whole bunch of old bugs, in particular the one that was resulting in fig2ps guessing the wrong bounding box with --bbox=gs (the default). The manual page was rewritten from scratch and is clearer now. Image

NAME

       latex2pdf - script to convert LaTeX file to PDF

SYNOPSIS

	 latex2pdf [OPTIONS] [-o output] [sourcefile]

DESCRIPTION

       "latex2pdf" is a simple script to invoke the "LaTeX::Driver" module to convert a LaTeX file to PDF.

OPTIONS

       "-output=FILE"
	   specifies that the formatted file should be written to "FILE".  If this option is not specified, or is specified as ""-"" then the file
	   will be written to standard output, otherwise if an input file is specified then the it will be formatted in place and the output file
	   will have the same name as the input file, but with the original extension replaced with ".dvi".

       "-tt2"
	   specifies that the source document should be taken to be a Template Toolkit template and processed through that before being fed to the
	   "LaTeX::Driver" module for latex formatting.

       "-define=NAME=VALUE"
	   defines the template variable NAME to have the value VALUE.	Multiple template variables may be defined and these are passed to the
	   Template Toolkit processing stage (they are ignored if the "-tt2" option is not specified).
