NAME


fig2sxd - utility to convert .fig to .sxd

SYNOPSIS


fig2sxd [-w] [-l(ine)w(idth)1 l] figfile sxdfile

DESCRIPTION


The program tries to convert the given file in xfig format into a sxd file for
OpenOffice.org Draw. If figfile ends with .fig or .xfig and sxdfile is omitted, the output
file will be named like figfile ending with .sxd instead of .(x)fig. Using - for figfile
makes the program read from stdin so that it is possible to use

pstoedit -f fig file.ps - | fig2sxd - file.sxd

to convert ps files. (For files with many objects you might want to use something like

pstoedit -f 'fig:-startdepth 9999' file.ps - | fig2sxd - file.sxd

to get more layers; the output of pstoedit then is no longer a valid xfig file, but it
makes the z ordering of the objects in OpenOffice.org Draw stay correct.) Using - for
sxdfile makes the program write to stdout. With the -linewidth1 (or -lw1) option, the
width of lines with thickness 1 in xfig can be set, unit is 1 cm. Using 0 here gives fine
lines. Example:

pstoedit -f 'fig:-startdepth 9999' file.ps - | fig2sxd -lw1 0 - file.sxd

With the -w option, out-of-specification values are only warnings but will be sanitized.

DEFICIENCIES


Not all of the .fig objects are converted correctly: splines look quite similar, but are
not exactly the same; text placement might be a little bit wrong, especially for very
small font sizes; hatches look different in many cases; hollow arrows are not supported
and replaced by their filled counterparts. There are various other things that could be
improved.

It looks like OpenOffice.org cannot read xml attribute values longer than 64kB as they
might appear for very long polygons/-lines. For unfilled polylines, fig2sxd therefore
creates several smaller polylines of 500 points each and groups them together. Splitting
an arbitrary filled polygon is not trivial and not implemented.
