xfig is a great clipart diagramming editor the "wysiwyg" component does
not look too good when zoomed out.  for example, a polygon created does
not look like a "polygon" but just jagged lines.  But when zoomed in the
polygon can be seen.  The rendering to postscript was also exceptionally
good with anti-aliasing.  what are you guys using to edit *.fig files? 
will compilation with xaw3d widgets fix this or the xaw3d libraries are
just eyecandy?  the screenshots from the xfig.org site looks nicely
rendered but i thinked they zoomed it enough not to show all the ugly
aliasing and poor rendering

xfig is good for quick and dirty diagrams but if i want to have good
looking pictures with subscripts and formulas I use GNU pic/ dpic with
m4 macros.  the circuit_macros package from ctan.org is one of the best
schematic drawing packages out there.  The output looks like text-book
quality schematics!
