Is their anyone here old enough to remember Xfig ? I was quite proud of the hours of work I had put in to configure it just so, with the 3d look and all.

- bedstefar 4mo agoI do. I used it in the late noughts for my cryptology BSc because I was too lazy/busy to learn TikZ proper
- srean 4mo agoTikz by hand for busy diagrams can be a whole lot of work. What I loved about Xfig was that one could use latex and latex fonts in the diagrams.
- golem14 4mo agoMy thought exactly when I saw the post. xfig should still work, right? I remember that it could only export to .fig and .eps files, not latex or any other plot format.
- srean 4mo agoWhen linked with transfig their is a whole lot of file format it supports. Most distributions will package them together. https://linux.die.net/man/1/transfig https://linux.die.net/man/1/transfig
