NAME
       transfig - creates a makefile for portable LaTeX figures

SYNOPSIS
       transfig [ -L language ] [ -M makefile ] [ -T texfile ] [ -I macrofile
       ] [ -V ] [ control_specs figfile ... ]

DESCRIPTION
       Transfig creates a makefile to translate figures described in Fig code
       or PIC into a specified LaTeX graphics language.  PIC files are
       identified by the suffix ".pic"; Fig files can be specified either with
       or without the suffix ".fig" .  Transfig also creates a TeX macro file
       appropriate to the target language.

OPTIONS
       The language specifier must be one of box, cgm, eepic, eepicemu, emf,
       epic, eps, ge, gif, ibmgl, jpeg, latex, map, mf, mmp, mp, pcx, pdf,
       pdftex, pdftex_t, pic, pictex, png, ppm, ps, psfig, pstex, pstex_t,
       ptk, sld, textyl, tiff, tk, tpic, xbm, xpm or null.  The specifier
       psfig is like the ps specifier, except that it make use of the psfig
       macro package.  The specifier pstex is like psfig, except that it uses
       LaTeX to process formatted (special) text.  The specifier null results
       in the figures being replaced by empty boxes of the appropriate size.
       If no language is specified, epic is the default.

       The names of the makefile and TeX macro file can be set with the -M and
       -T options.  The default names are "Makefile" and "transfig.tex",
       respectively.  If there is already an existing makefile in the
       directory, transfig first renames it to makefile~.  The same holds for
       any existing TeX macro file.  If the -I option is specified, then a
       command to read in macrofile is    inserted into the TeX macro file.
       If the -V option is specified, the program version number is printed
       only.

       Control specifiers are

       -m mag set the magnification at which the figure is rendered (default
              1.0).

       -f font
              set the default font family used for text objects (default
              "rm").

       -s fontsize
              set the default font size (in points) for text objects (default
              11*mag).

       -o option
              pass the specified option string through to fig2dev.

       If there is no scaling, the default font is an eleven point roman font.
       Language and control specifiers may occur more than once; they affect
       the translation of files which appear to their right in the argument
       list.  If no files are specified, then "*.fig" is assumed.
