     TRANSFIG(1)                                                     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 either epic, eepic, eepicemu, latex,
          pictex, ps, eps, psfig, pstex, textyl, tpic, 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 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.
