The files can be converted to EPS, PNG, and all sorts of other graphics formats. The transfig packages means you can write scripts and Makefiles to do convert FIG files. If you are using LibreCAD, the trick is to print to file. You get PDF format. Select an appropriate scale and sheet size. There are lots of sheet sizes to chooser from. The command pdftops will give you an EPS file suitable for import into LaTeX or LibreOffice. I have not played with LibreOffice's drawing program, or Dia. -- Howard Gibson hgib...@eol.ca jhowardgib...@gmail.com http://home.eol.ca/~hgibson --- Talk Mailing List talk@gtalug.org https://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk
