fig

Manipulation of FIG files.

The Fig library provides parsing and printing for the FIG 3.2 format (the format used by the Xfig drawing program) together with a simple search-and-replace facility.

Fig is a Haskell package for parsing and manipulation of Xfig files.

The package has a Cabal setup and can be installed this way:

$ runhaskell Setup configure
$ runhaskell Setup build
$ sudo runhaskell Setup install

You can use the package without doing an install by editing the Main.hs file to suit your needs and building the program with the following command:

$ ghc --make Main.hs -o fig2fig

Run the program with a FIG file as input and view the results:

$ ./fig2fig < transitive.fig > out.fig
$ xfig out.fig

The package has a home page with more information on its use and a HackageDB page with all releases of the package.
