WinFIG is based on my earlier Amiga program called AmiFIG. The intention is not just to copy or clone Xfig. The file format and rendering will be as close to Xfig as possible, but the program will take advantage of Windows features like clipboard, printer preview, multiple documents and more.
Features include:
- Compose drawings using ellipses, circles, polygons, splines, arcs, arrows, images, text objects
- Draw solid, dashed or dotted lines with miter, round or beveled joins
- Use colors and patterns
- Manipulate your drawings by moving, stretching, flipping, aligning
- Create compound objects
- Arrange objects in different layers to control the order in which they overlap
- Use grid and magnet and constraints for geometry (e.g. to create LaTeX compatible lines only)
- Export to box, CGM, EMF, epic, ge, GIF, IBMGL, dxf, JPEG, LaTeX, map, MetaFont, MetaPost, PCX, PDF, pic, pictex, PNG, (Encapsulated)PostScript, ppm, pstex, PSTricks, shape, sld, SVG, tk and others
