NAME¶
figtoipe - Convert FIG figures into Ipe format
SYNOPSIS¶
figtoipe [-g] [-p preamble] FIGfile
XMLfile
DESCRIPTION¶
figtoipe converts files in FIG format (as created, e.g., by
xfig)
to Ipe's XML format.
figtoipe is not complete. The main lacking feature is the conversion of
splines. Arc-boxes are replaced by rectangles. Feel free to improve this
version!
The drawing models of FIG and Ipe are somewhat different. Ipe does not support
depth ordering independent of grouping, pattern fill, and Postscript fonts.
figtoipe tries to include images specified in the XFIG file. For JPEG
pictures, it tries include the compressed image data into the XML file. For
files not recognized as JPEG,
anytopnm is called; its output is
compressed and included in the XML file. Some output of
anytopnm might
be rejected (e.g. images larger than 5000x5000 pixels or B&W bitmaps), or
misunderstood.
OPTIONS¶
-g group the figure in the output XML
- -p latex
- add latex as a preamble to the generated XML file, e.g.
´\usepackage{amsmath}´
