xfig is a graphics editor. The current version (3.2.4-beta4) can produce files in various formats (postscript, PNG, JPEG, TIFF, etc). It can edit FIG files, and can load in EPS, JPEG files (etc).

See the xfig Users Manual for details. A Guide to using xfig is of particular use to people drawing circuit diagrams. Both these documents are available from xfig's help menu.

The xfig hints and tips document details some of the less obvious features. See the associated software page for conversion programs, etc. pstoedit, which converts postscript files into FIG files, is installed.

If you're drawing a block diagram and decide to move a box, xfig can move the links attached to the box too. This facility, called smart links, is controlled by a box that appears when move or copy is chosen. It works with polylines (not splines).
