TRANSFIG(1)              UNIX System V(29 March 1989)               TRANSFIG(1)


NAME
      transfig - creates a makefile for portable LaTeX figures

SYNOPSIS
      transfig [ -L language ] [ -M makefile ] [ -T texfile ] [ control_specs
      figfile ... ] ...]

DESCRIPTION
      Transfig creates a makefile to translate figures described in Fig code,
      PostScript, or PIC into a specified LaTeX graphics language.  PostScript
      and PIC files are identified by the suffixes ".ps" and ".pic"
      respectively; 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 either epic, eepic, eepicemu, latex,
      pictex, ps, psfig, tpic, or null.  The specifier psfig is like the ps
      specifier, except that it make use of the psfig macro package.  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.

      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 "cmr").

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

      If there is no scaling, the default font is "\elvrm".  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.
