Description-en: Facility for Interactive Generation of figures under X11
XFig is a menu-driven tool that allows the user to draw and
manipulate objects interactively in an X window. The resulting
pictures can be saved. If the fig2dev program is installed, which is
contained in the fig2dev package, the pictures can be printed on
postscript printers or converted to a variety of other formats (e.g.
to allow inclusion in LaTeX documents or web pages).
.
This package contains the xfig program itself.
.
You should think about installing the fig2dev package to export the
graphics to several common formats. You should also think about
installing xfig-doc, which contains the documentation and xfig-libs,
which contains several clip art libraries.
