fig2ps is a perl script which converts xfig files to postscript or PDF, processing text with LaTeX. fig2ps's primary aim is to produce documents (such as articles) with a high quality, in which the pictures are seamlessly integrated with the text (notably, the font in the figures is exactly the same as in the text).
The way to use it is simple : draw your picture with xfig, marking all text as special (there is one way to force this, look at the manual page). Then, invoke fig2ps on your xfig file. Then, you can integrate the picture in a LaTeX document by simply saying, for instance, includegraphics{file}
Requirements:
Perl
What's New in This Release:
Handling of temporary files for large figures was improved.
The program now correctly deals with filenames that include unusual characters.
The user can now forward options to fig2dev.
The documentation has been updated.
