NAME¶
fig2sxd - utility to convert .fig to .sxdSYNOPSIS¶
fig2sxd [-w] [-l(ine)w(idth)1 l] figfile sxdfileDESCRIPTION¶
The program tries to convert the given file in xfig format into a sxd file for OpenOffice.org Draw. If figfile ends with .fig or .xfig and sxdfile is omitted, the output file will be named like figfile ending with .sxd instead of .(x)fig. Using - for figfile makes the program read from stdin so that it is possible to use
pstoedit -f fig file.ps - | fig2sxd - file.sxd
to convert ps files. (For files with many objects you might want to use
something like
pstoedit -f 'fig:-startdepth 9999' file.ps - | fig2sxd -
file.sxd
to get more layers; the output of pstoedit then is no longer a valid xfig file,
but it makes the z ordering of the objects in OpenOffice.org Draw stay
correct.) Using - for sxdfile makes the program write to stdout.
With the -linewidth1 (or -lw1) option, the width of lines with
thickness 1 in xfig can be set, unit is 1 cm. Using 0 here gives fine lines.
Example:
pstoedit -f 'fig:-startdepth 9999' file.ps - | fig2sxd -lw1 0 -
file.sxd
With the -w option, out-of-specification values are only warnings but
will be sanitized.
