Xfig 3.2
Free Version
Publisher Description
Xfig is a diagramming tool. xfig+fig2dev-3.2.8.tar.xz contains the sources for the interactive drawing program xfig and its backend, fig2dev. Fig2dev is necessary to enable xfig to export figures to various output formats, such as eps, pdf, svg, windows metafile, tikz, pict2e or pstricks macro language for TeX/LaTeX, and many others. To install, untar, cd to the xfig-* and fig2dev-* directories and type in both ./configure; make; make install.
INSTALL files in both directories contain a more detailed overview of the installation process. The tar files xfig-3.2.8.tar.xz and fig2dev-3.2.8.tar.xz contain the components separately.
Currently, xfig seems to be the only available graphical tool that is able to create high-quality graphics with tikz. The output from fig2dev -L tikz -P fig1.fig fig1.tex; xelatex fig1.tex is nearly identical to fig2dev -L pdf fig1.fig fig1.pdf
The differences are slightly smaller lines in pattern fills in the tikz-output than in the eps or pdf output. When using the tikz or pict2e output language, postscript and tex fonts can be inserted into the same graphics. Using xelatex as the tex-engine, both eps and pdf-images can be imported.
