NAME
       figurine - an interactive vector drawing program

SYNOPSIS
       figurine [ options ] [file...]

DESCRIPTION
       figurine is an X11 program for the interactive generation of vector
       graphics in the Fig file format used by xfig(1) (version 3.2). The
       transfig(1) package is used to generate the final output format, see
       fig2dev(1) for details of which output formats are available. The Fig
       files are compatible with xfig(1) and all other programs capable of
       reading Fig 3.2 format files.

       If Fig files are specified on the command line, they are opened in
       figurine. Non-existent files on the command line will be opened as new
       Fig files.

OPTIONS
       The options below can be specified as shown on the command line, and
       are also settable as X resources (see X(1) for a description of how to
       set X resources).

       -display display
              Set the X display to be used

       -geometry geom
              Set the geometry of the tool window e.g. -geom 400x300

       -tlcolor color
              Set the light color used in the toolkit widgets.

       -background color
              Set the background color used in the toolkit widgets.

       -brcolor color
              Set the dark color used in the toolkit widgets.

       -handlecolor color
              Set the color used for the object handles.

       -font font
              Set the font used in the toolkit.

       -rulerfont font
              Set the font used in the document rulers.

       -screenppi ppi
              Set the screen pixels-per-inch value. This is often reported
              inaccurately by the X server. Experiment with this value until a
              screen inch is correct (use a ruler !). On my monitor, 97 is an
              accurate value at 1024x768.

       -undolevels val
              Set the number of undo levels. The default is nine; more means
              more flexibility, but higher memory usage. A value of 0 disables
              undo/redo.

       -notooltips
              Disable the floating tool tips.

       -nocompoundoutlines
              Disable the dashed boxes that surround compound objects. This
              has no effect on the actual file contents.

       -guidelines
              Enable cross-guidelines that follow the cursor in the document
              window.

       --version
              Display the version number on the terminal and quit immediately.

USAGE
       The interface has been designed to be considerably more flexible and
       intuitive than xfig(1).  Switch between the types of objects you can
       draw using the main tool window icons (or use the right mouse button on
       a document window). The first icon, the Edit tool, is where existing
       objects in a document are resized, rotated, and changed. For further
       details, refer to the HTML documentation.

ENVIRONMENT
       figurine recognises the following environment variables :

       FIGURINEDIR
              The directory containing the HTML documentation, e.g.
              /usr/share/figurine

       BROWSER
              The browser program preferred by the user. This is used to view
              the HTML documentation when the menu option Help->Contents has
              been selected. The value must refer to an X11 program, but if
              you want you could do BROWSER="xterm -e lynx" or similar.

FILES
       /usr/local/share/figurine/index.html
              HTML documentation describing the use of figurine.

VERSION
       This man page is current for figurine-1.0.5.
