FIGURINE(1)FIGURINE(1)NAMEfigurine - an interactive vector drawing program
SYNOPSISfigurine [ options ] [file...]
DESCRIPTIONfigurine is an X11 program for the interactive generation of vector
graphics in the Fig file format used by xfig(1) (version 3.2). The
transfig(1) package is used to generate the final output format, see
fig2dev(1) for details of which output formats are available. The Fig
files are compatible with xfig(1) and all other programs capable of
reading Fig 3.2 format files.
If Fig files are specified on the command line, they are opened in fig‐
urine. Non-existent files on the command line will be opened as new Fig
files.
OPTIONS
The options below can be specified as shown on the command line, and
are also settable as X resources (see X(1) for a description of how to
set X resources).
-display display
Set the X display to be used
-geometry geom
Set the geometry of the tool window e.g. -geom 400x300
-tlcolor color
Set the light color used in the toolkit widgets.
-background color
Set the background color used in the toolkit widgets.
-brcolor color
Set the dark color used in the toolkit widgets.
-handlecolor color
Set the color used for the object handles.
-font font
Set the font used in the toolkit.
-rulerfont font
Set the font used in the document rulers.
-screenppi ppi
Set the screen pixels-per-inch value. This is often reported
inaccurately by the X server. Experiment with this value until a
screen inch is correct (use a ruler !). On my monitor, 97 is an
accurate value at 1024x768.
-undolevels val
Set the number of undo levels. The default is nine; more means
more flexibility, but higher memory usage. A value of 0 disables
undo/redo.
-notooltips
Disable the floating tool tips.
-nocompoundoutlines
Disable the dashed boxes that surround compound objects. This
has no effect on the actual file contents.
-guidelines
Enable cross-guidelines that follow the cursor in the document
window.
--version
Display the version number on the terminal and quit immediately.
USAGE
The interface has been designed to be considerably more flexible and
intuitive than xfig(1). Switch between the types of objects you can
draw using the main tool window icons (or use the right mouse button on
a document window). The first icon, the Edit tool, is where existing
objects in a document are resized, rotated, and changed. For further
details, refer to the HTML documentation.
ENVIRONMENTfigurine recognises the following environment variables :
FIGURINEDIR
The directory containing the HTML documentation, e.g.
/usr/share/figurine
BROWSER
The browser program preferred by the user. This is used to view
the HTML documentation when the menu option Help->Contents has
been selected. The value must refer to an X11 program, but if
you want you could do BROWSER="xterm -e lynx" or similar.
FILES
