Fig2vect - yet another Fig to vector graphics converter
=======================================================

Overview
--------

The fig2vect program converts Fig drawings (created using XFig or jFig)
to other vector graphics file types to be used in LaTeX documents.

Program options
---------------

fig2vect [-l <language>] [-o <option>...] [-m] <directory>
fig2vect [-l <language>] [-o <option>...] [ <inputfile> [<outputfile>] ]

-l language
      chooses one of the predefined conversion configurations from
      the fig2vect.cfg configuration file. The system-wide configuration
      file resides in /etc/fig2vect/fig2vect.cfg by default, users can
      create a user-specific file in $HOME/.defaults/fig2vect.cfg.
      If a user-specific file is found, this file is used instead of
      the system-wide configuration file.

-o option
      overwrites on configuration entry. If you want to overwrite the
      configuration file entry

        fill patterns = no

      you can use the command line option

        -o fill.patterns=no

-m
      activates ``make'' behaviour if fig2vect is run on a directory.
      For each *.fig file found fig2vect compares the modification time
      stamps of the source file and the destination file to produce.
      A conversion is only started if the source file is newer than
      the destination file.

-m-
      deactivates ``make'' behaviour when running on a directory.
      A conversion is started for each source file found, regardless
      whether or not the destination file is up to date.

-h
      prints this help text.

-v
      prints the version number.

-c <options>
      saves the specified options (-l, -m) as permanent options.

-r
      skips the permanent options for this one program invokation.

-u
      removes all permanent options.

-C
      shows the permanent options.
