The fig2vect program converts figures from jFig, XFig and WinFig to MetaPost, EPS, PDF, TeX and SVG. The primary web site for source and docu is http://fig2vect.sourceforge.net . Program highlights: - Designed for use with LaTeX/pdfLaTeX. Handling of special text is left up to LaTeX, for non-special text you can choose whether or not to use LaTeX. For text handled by LaTeX you have three choices: - Use the fonts exactly as specified in the Fig file. - Convert to use fonts in the same features (serif/sans-serif/monospaced, normal/bold, upright/italic). This allows to use the same font families in the graphics as in the document where the graphics is included. - Write no font selection commands (text contains commands itself if necessary). - X-splines are approximated by a sequence of Bezier spline segments. - Fill patterns are drawn by vector graphics operations. - Image width and height are found by inspecting graphics elements (except texts), the paper format name is not used here.
