Short: Xfig v1.8b - a structured drawing tool. MUI Author: Ken Yap/Brian Smith and others/ Terje Pedersen(Amiga part) Uploader: terjepe@funcom.com Type: gfx/edit This is an Amiga port of an X11 structured drawing tool that lets the user interactiely create and manipulate on objects such as lines/circles rectangles/splines/text and other elements. Xfig can produce output in several different formats: Encapsulated PostScript, IBM-GL (HP/GL), Pic, PiCTeX, LaTeX, box, epic, eepic, eepicemu, textyl, tpic, X11 Bitmap, X11 Pixmap and gif. This is the binary part of the program. Examples and docs are in xfig_docs.lha If you have a key-file you'll also need the transfig and fig2dev programs that are in xfig_support.lha. New versions of xfig_docs and xfig_support has been uploaded along xfig6.lha. SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS Amigas with 68000 OS3.0+ and MUI 2.0+, and a big Workbench (640x400 minimum) is needed. Also 4 mb of ram may come in handy.. HISTORY: 1.8b Made the program work with MUI3.0+. It also accidentaly made it work with XSize.., but this results in a conflict over the use of left mousebutton (zooming in xfig). Removed the saving of 'unnamed.fig' when cancel is pressed in the filerequester. Removed the input oddity of having to press 2 chars before both show up (after having used a control key (shift/alt etc)). Some other changes to the interface. 1.8 In the 68000 version adding points to a line caused a crash. It seems that the optimizer produces faulty code if the prototypes aren't correct when generating 68000 code. Angle constraints wasn't activated when selected. Changing zoom scale caused 2 redraws. Some temp files were attempted to be written to 't:/'. added #?.fig filter in load/save requester. Dash length/Dot gap couldn't be set. Postscript fonts off by one in output. Changing text justification didn't. (Until one of the other options were changed) Arc type didn't change when changing the entry in the edit window. Editing closed interpolated splines caused the arrow window to show up. 1.7 Improved upon the flip operation as it didn't redraw the region which the flip object left. Command line arguments didn't work too well.. Thought about this env. var. x11home and couldn't find any reason for it not to be an assign. (libx11: should containt rgb.txt and AmigaDefaults) 1.6 Updated the program to the latest X11 version 3.1.4. (lots of improvements..) Compressed images (.Z or .gz) are uncomressed with uncompress or gunzip. In order to help GIF into obscurity it has been removed..and replaced with iff. Added the xpm output format. 1 bitplane text/images didn't get the correct color in output to image-files. Added support for datatypes loading of images. Added dr2d import. (only outline) Improved cursor handling. Setenv's are gone (except 'X11HOME') and replaced with entries in AmigaDefaults. Images/rotated text problems with gfx cards hopefully fixed. Added a missing 'size' option in loading of images. The background color now actually controls the background color..
