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 lan‐
       guage.  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 spec‐
       ified, 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	num‐
       ber 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.
