TextFile

Please send all correspondence regarding the GnuTeX FIG driver to
David Kotz (dfk@cs.duke.edu), not to Micah.

- I have set the resolution of the Fig file to 80 pixels/in, which
is what the Fig editors require.  However, it can be set higher, and the
TransFig back end can handle higher resolution.  This can be done by setting
the FIG_RES symbol, eg "-DFIG_RES=300".

- It uses centered and right-justified text, which are not handled properly
by Fig 1.4.2, but is handled properly by Fig-FS and TransFig.

- It requires the Fig header file "object.h", which is included in
TransFig and in Fig-FS.  It is included in the GnuTeX distribution,
copied from TransFig Version 1.4-TFX Release 3a.

- Note that multiple-line titles and axis labels (using \\) does not
work as it does with latex output, at least when using fig2epic for
output. 

- the font style used for all of the text can be specified on the
fig2{epic,tex,latex} command line, so you can change it if you don't
like the default.

Thanks to Micah Beck for providing this driver.
