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, PostScript, or PIC into a specified LaTeX
          graphics language.  PostScript and PIC files are identified
          by the suffixes ".ps" and ".pic" respectively; 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 either epic, eepic, eepicemu,
          latex, pictex, ps, psfig, pstex, textyl, tpic, 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 specified, 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 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 number 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.
