fig2ps | Converts xfig files into ps, eps or pdf files using LaTeX for processing text | Mehr ... |
This perl script takes into advantage the pstex and pstex_t export formats of fig2dev (xfig) to separate special text and the rest of a xfig file. Then, the text is processed separately using LaTeX, and everything is put back together at the end, to make a nice wonderful figure with the text formatted exactly the same way as the article you are typing ! PDF output is also available. . Though gv is strictly speaking not necessary for conversion, it can be called directly by fig2ps depending on the options you choose. For nice PDF output, you should install Type 1 fonts, such as lmodern or cm-super. |
