I am trying to understand its usefulness. I have two simple questions for you regarding Inkscape: - What should I do to include latex macros in the figures that I draw using inkscape. Now, how can I incorporate this into my figure? But, this will not work with such macros. I can do this with xfig.
Now, can you explain how to incorporate this into main latex file? When I tried to incorporate it like a figure, I was getting compilation errors. I have included the pstricks package in my main latex file. You probably just missing a package. The easiest should be compiling with XeLaTeX instead.
It also gives you a. Good replacement for xfig Post by nlct » Wed Feb 21, pm You can use flowframtk to draw images and then export to pgf code. Laying out the boxes representing each of the data states in the CUPS process was really easy in Xfig, partly due to the grid snapping behavior, which was on by default. This made for a very fast start on the diagram. For the process flow in the diagram, I used simple polyline objects.
After they were laid down, the "toggle arrowhead" tool made marking the flow direction extremely fast and easy. Xfig was originally designed to work well with TeX and Postscript, the most common tool chain available in the early s. However, SVG export capability does exist, though the menu claims it is only "beta" quality. I didn't expect that much from an "obsolete" program like Xfig, which I hadn't used in years, but it surprised me. With its simple though admittedly no longer very standard interface and convenient tools, it made the job of drawing this diagram extremely fast and easy.
I finished this drawing much faster than I expected to, and faster than I would've been able to do it in Inkscape. Nevertheless, despite the short time, the results are very good looking: much better than what I managed with Dia in the same time.
With excellent SVG export capability, it also occurs to me that Xfig would make a good way to quickly start a drawing which could later be modified with the more sophisticated tools of one of the modern graphics editors such as Inkscape.
Xfig is not for every drawing project, but for diagrams like this one, it is an excellent tool: it makes it easy to produce very high quality output in very little time.

Xfig is an older package, developed for Unix workstation environments Of course, it was not very competitive against proprietary software then available, such as Corel Draw, but those programs were generally not available for Unix, and neither were they really designed for the technical drawing needs of academic publishing.

The -showallbuttons option makes all of the indicator buttons visible at all times. This takes up more screen real estate, but allows the user to see all settable parameters.

In addition, imagine a triangle formed with the line segment as the hypotenuse, and a vertical and horizontal line forming the other two sides.
These lines and their lengths are also drawn in red as the point is moved or added. This mode is ignored when drawing in freehand mode. This is generally only useful for debugging. This is the default -si [ ngle ] Sets single page mode for print or export. See also -multiple. The allowed values are 0 no smoothing , 2 or 4 most smoothing.
Special text means that special characters in the string are not specially processed but are passed directly to LaTeX. This is most useful for writing LaTeX equations.
Mode 0 is no grid. In metric mode, grid mode 1 is 2mm, mode 2 is 5mm and mode 3 is 1cm. You must have the XInputExtension in your X server and an input tablet for this to work.
This number is the color number according to the xfig color panel, starting at 0 black and ending at 31 gold , or may be a user-defined color number, which is 32 or higher. The original Fig file will be preserved with the suffix. In this mode, xfig doesn't connect the X server, so no window is opened, and it exits when finished. This factor is multiplied by the actual length, radius or diameter of the object currently being drawn on the canvas.
It is useful for making scale drawings, where e. After xfig is started you may change the userscale and the userunit from a popup menu available by pressing mouse button 3 in the units box where the two rulers meet.
