TRANSFIG(1)		     General Commands Manual		     TRANSFIG(1)

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,  pdf-
     tex_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 spec-
     ifier, except that it make use of the psfig macro package.   The  specifier
     pstex  is	like psfig, except that it uses LaTeX to process formatted (spe-
     cial) 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", respec-
     tively.  If there is already an existing makefile in the directory,  trans-
     fig  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.
