.SH DESCRIPTION
.I Fig2latex
translates fig objects in the named
.I fig-file
into LaTeX picture environement commands and puts them in
.I tex-file.
The input file
.I (fig-file)
if not present, will be the stdin.
The output file
.I (tex-file), 
if not present, will be the stdout.
.LP
Fig (Facility for Interactive Generation of figures) is a screen-oriented
tool which allows the user to draw and manipulate objects interactively.
It runs under the Suntools/Sunview window environment.
Fig2latex is compatible with Fig versions 1.3 and 1.4.

Fig2latex deals with Fig graphics objects as follows:
.TP
.B ARC:
Arcs are not supported; they are omited.
.TP
.B ELLIPSE:
Circles are translated into \circle.  LaTeX can't draw circles
beyond a certain size; fig2latex does not check for this.  Elipses are
approximated by \oval.  Slanted elipses are not supported.  Circles and
elipses can only be drawn in solid line style.
.TP
.B POLYLINE:
Polylines and polygons are translated into \line, \vector,
\framebox, and \dashbox.  The slopes of slanted lines are rounded to the
nearest slope supported by Latex.  If a slanted line is shorter than the
minimum length supported by LaTeX it is drawn as a sequence of dots (using
\multiput and \circle*).  Dashed and dotted line styles are supported.  The
dash length of slated lines can't be smaller than the minimum slated line
length supported by LaTeX; a smaller dash length is rounded up to this
minimum length.
.TP
.B SPLINE:
 Splines are not supported; they are omited.
.TP
.B TEXT:
Text objects are translated into \put{...}.  The text is preceded by
``\twltt '' to be printed in twelve point typewriter font.  This can be
changed with the -f option.

.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.B \-m
Set the magnification at which the figure is rendered to
.I mag.
Line thickness and text size are not affected.
The default is 1.0.
.TP
.B \-f 
Set the font specification command which precedes every text object in the
picture to
.I fspec.
-f: is equivalent to -f "".
The default is "\fB\\twltt\fR".
.TP
.B \-l
Sets the threshold between LaTeX thin and thick lines to 
.I lwidth
pixels.
LaTeX supports only two different line width: \thinlines and \thicklines.
Lines of width greater than
.I lwidth
pixels are drawn as \thicklines.
Also affects the size of dots in dotted line style.
The default is 2.
.TP
.B \-L
Force all lines to be LaTeX "thicklines",
regardless of the specified thickness.
Equivalent to -l 0.
.TP
.B \-v
Verbose mode.
.TP
.B \-o
Draw circles as LaTeX ovals.
This eliminates restrictions on the diameters of circles.

.SH LIMITATIONS
LaTeX cannot accurately represent all the graphics objects which can
be described by Fig.
For example, the possible slopes which lines may have are limited.
Some objects, such as spline curves, cannot be drawn at all.
Fig2latex chooses the closest possible line slope, and prints error
messages when objects cannot be drawn accurately.
