How to get xfig

The xfig utility mentioned several times in this documentation is a freely distributable interactive drawing editor for the X Window System. It may be used to edit the output of graph -T fig, or, in general the output of any application that uses the Fig Plotter support contained in libplot.

The current version is available at ftp://ftp.x.org/contrib/applications/drawing_tools/. It can import graphics in GIF, X11 bitmap, and Postscript formats. Accompanying the editor is a package called transfig, which allows xfig graphics to be exported in many formats. GIF, X11 bitmap, LaTeX, and Postscript formats are supported.

There is a Web page on Fig format, which discusses application software packages that can interoperate with xfig.
