The following are applications which can produce Fig files as their output:
************************************************************************
There is a port of xfig for the MacIntosh running Darwin (the MacIntosh
port of XFree86). See http://fink.sourceforge.net/pdb/package.php/xfig
************************************************************************
There is a version of xfig which will run under Windows, but still needs
an X server (e.g. Hummingbird Exceed, or Cygwin http://www.cygwin.com/xfree/)
to run. The URL is:
http://aquarius.franken.de/software/develop/gnuwin32/cygwin/porters/Hirmke_Michael/GNUWin32-links.html
Another is: http://www.cs.usask.ca/grads/wew036/latex/xfig.html
************************************************************************
grass2fig - The GRASS GIS (Geographic Resources Analysis Support System)
is an open source Geographical Information System (GIS) with raster,
topological vector, image processing, and graphics production
functionality that operates on various platforms through a graphical
user interface and shell in X-Windows. It is released under GNU General
Public License (GPL).
The grass2fig program will convert a GRASS binary vector map to a
Fig file.
************************************************************************
JavaFIG - Java applet which is based on xfig. See:
http://tech-www.informatik.uni-hamburg.de/applets/javafig/applet.html
************************************************************************
figbuild - figbuild reads xfig files (Version 3.x, tested with 3.1, 3.2) plus
its own config file for heights, and generates a Radiance input
file. Written by Peter Apian-Bennewitz at Fraunhofer ISE, Germany
see:
http://www.ise.fhg.de/radiance/pabs-toolbox/figbuild/figbuild.html
************************************************************************
xfigbar and xfigpie - Two C programs to produce bar and pie charts as Fig
files. Written by John Conover <john@johncon.johncon.com>,
these programs are available at:
http://www.johncon.com/john/archive/xfigutilities.shar.gz
************************************************************************
mifXfig - MIF to XFig and XFig to MIF Converter
see http://www.ida.liu.se/~vaden/teaching/m2f/ for details, but it
basically converts to and from MIF and Fig files
From Vadim Engelson (vaden@ida.liu.se)
************************************************************************
pstoedit - converts Postscript(TM) files to other vector graphic formats
that can be edited. Besides Fig output, tgif, Framemaker(TM) (MIF-
format) and flattened PostScript are supported along with several
others.
You need a C++ compiler to install and GhostScript to run pstoedit.
pstoedit should run on all Un*x like systems and has also been ported
to OS/2 and DOS.

************************************************************************
hp2xx - converts HPGL to EPS, LaTex, Fig or simplified HPGL converter
Now maintained by Martin Kroeker (mk@daveg.com)
available from ftp.gnu.org and the usual mirror sites
************************************************************************
chemtool - Chemical structure editor for X11 available from
http://ruby.chemie.uni-freiburg.de/~martin/chemtool/chemtool.html
that writes Fig output (and relies on transfig for anything more fancy
than xbm)
************************************************************************
xgraph - plotting package for X - version on iworks.ecn.uiowa.edu in
comp.hp has version that can output Fig files
************************************************************************
gnuplot - Plotting package; can output in Fig format.
For the location of gnuplot, here is the (paraphrased) excerpt from
the FAQ. Note, that although there are versions of gnuplot for
several different platforms, xfig only runs under X11.
The official distribution site for the gnuplot source is dartmouth.edu,
in /pub/gnuplot. Official mirrors of that distribution are (for
Australia) monu1.cc.monash.edu.au and (for Europe) irisa.irisa.fr.
You can also get it from your friendly neighbourhood comp.sources.misc
archive.
MS-DOS and MS-Windows binaries are available from oak.oakland.edu
(North America) as pub/msdos/plot/gpt34*.zip, garbo.uwasa.fi (Europe)
as /pc/plot/gpt34*.zip and archie.au (Australia) as
micros/pc/oak/plot/gpt34*.zip. The files are: gpt34doc.zip,
gpt34exe.zip, gpt34src.zip and gpt34win.zip.
OS/2 2.x binaries are at ftp-os2.nmsu.edu in /os2/2.x/unix/gnu/gplt34.zip.
Amiga sources and binaries are available from wuarchive.wustl.edu
as /pub/amiga/aminet/util/gnu/gnuplot-3.4*; there are numerous mirrors
of this distribution.
The NeXTSTEP front end can be found at sonata.cc.purdue.edu and
cs.orst.edu.
A version for OS-9/68K can be found at cabrales.cs.wisc.edu in
/pub/OSK/GRAPHICS; it includes both an X and non - X versions.
A version of gnuplot for the Macintosh is included in the gpcontrb
file, or can be found at wuarchive.wustl.edu in
edu/math/mac/graphingAids, as MacGnuPlot3.2.sea.hqx and
MacGnuPlotPackage3.2.sea.hqx.
************************************************************************
pic2fig - converts PIC (used with troff/ditroff/etc) to Fig.
May be found at ftp.cs.orst.edu in /localsrc/graphics and
at ftp.x.org in /contrib/utilities.
************************************************************************
GNU plotutils - includes an application for XY plotting (graph),
a plot filter (plot), a Tektronix translator (tek2plot),
a program for displaying font character maps (plotfont),
and a library for drawing 2-D vector graphics (libplot),
all of which produce output in xfig format.

************************************************************************
cdraw2fig - converts cdraw to Fig
Here is the cdraw README file:
cdraw2fig translates pictures from "Cheap Draw" format to Fig format.
The TransFig package can then be used for translation to the desired
output format. Currently supported formats include PIC, (E)EPIC, LaTeX,
PostScript, and several others.
cdraw2fig is implemented in the awk programming language. Most Cheap
Draw operations are handled in some way, although some of the transla-
tions are somewhat arbitrary. Note that some output formats are con-
siderably less expressive than Cheap Draw (and Fig). PIC, for example,
supports neither shading or rotated text. In addition, precise text
spacing is problematic across the different output formats.
The following files are included in this distribution:
README - this file
cdraw2fig.uu - ksh script with self-contained awk program
(uuencoded)
example - sample "Cheap Draw" file (from the original
Cheap Draw distribution)
To translate a Cheap Draw file to PIC (for example):
$ cdraw2fig example > example.fig
$ fig2dev -Lpic example.fig > example.pic
Cheap Draw 2.0 was written by Bob Pratt and is available from the UNIXPC
archives at osu-cis.
************************************************************************
Msphinx - a friendly package to handle satellite images.
Main features:
Msphinx includes two types of analysis and processing functions:
- Functions to process the basic data geometry and
projection planes.
- Functions to manipulate and modify the graphic display and print.
Communication capabilities:
- Data writes from external user programs
(C or Fortran) into the memory planes.
- User-to-user data exchange (text or images).
- User image data base visualisation.
- Direct links to other packages:
- Mgraph (2d and contouring plotting)
- HDFLook (HDF read write files)
>>> - Xfig (Facility for Interactive Generation of figures)
- mpeg_encode (mpeg format nimations)
Find it at:
http://loasys.univ-lille1.fr/Msphinx/Msphinx_gb.html
************************************************************************
TeXmacs - a WYSIWYG mathematical text editor which supports the inclusion of
pictures created by xfig. There is also a small script which converts an xfig
picture with LaTeX formulas in it to encapsulated postscript (by calling LaTeX).
For more information about TeXmacs, see:
