fedora
July 23, 2025
Update to latest upstream snapshot ee3f4d841d1ba7d5b1b57544c5068822ca92b1af
Summary
The transfig utility creates a makefile which translates FIG (created
by xfig) or PIC figures into a specified LaTeX graphics language (for
example, PostScript(TM)). Transfig is used to create TeX documents
which are portable (i.e., they can be printed in a wide variety of
environments).
Install transfig if you need a utility for translating FIG or PIC
figures into certain graphics languages.
