+<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
+
+<I>Xfig</I>
+
+is a menu-driven tool that allows the user to draw and manipulate
+objects interactively under the X Window System.
+<B>It runs under X version 11</B>
+
+<B>release 4 or higher</B>
+
+and requires a two- or three-button mouse.
+<I>file</I>
+
+specifies the name of a file to be edited.
+The objects in the file will be read at the start of
+<I>xfig</I>.
+
+<P>
+
+The bulk of the documentation fori
+<I>xfig</I>
+
+is in an HTML-based reference guide.
+See the Help menu in
+<I>xfig</I>
+
+or point your browser at
+<I>Doc/html/index.html</I>
+
+(provided with the
+<I>xfig</I>
+
+distribution, usually in the
+<I>Doc/www</I>
+
+directory).
+There are both English and Japanese versions.
+<P>
+
+When using a two-button mouse use the
+<I><Meta></I>
+
+key and the right button at the same time to effect
+the action of the middle button.

+
+Please send bug reports, fixes, new features etc. to:
+<BR>
+
+<A HREF="mailto:bvsmith@lbl.gov">bvsmith@lbl.gov</A>
+(Brian V. Smith)
+<P>
+
+When reporting a bug, please first check if the problem is mentioned in
+the FAQ section of the HTML files (xfig Help menu).
+<P>
+
+If it is not mentioned there, be sure to report the operating system you
+are using (e.g. SunOS 4.1.3), type of X server and version (OpenWindows 3, X11R6.4,
+XFree86 3.2.2, etc) and color depth (e.g. 8bpp, 16bpp), and most
+importantly the version of xfig or fig2dev that is having the problem.
+<P>
+
+It is also VERY useful to me if you can provide a stack trace from a debugger
+such as gdb, dbx, ups, etc, if the bug causes xfig to crash.
+<P>
+
+Because of the difference of some fonts in some X servers and the PostScript
+fonts on printers, text alignment can be problematic.
+<P>
+
+Not all operations employ smart redrawing of objects which are altered
+as a by product of the operation.
+You may need to use
+<I>Redraw</I>
+
+in these cases.
+<P>
+
+Some servers do not allow bitmaps/pixmaps taller than the screen height
+or wider than the screen width.
+That is why there is a limit on the width
+of the top ruler and height of the side ruler.
+If you need wider/taller rulers AND your server allows bigger pixmaps,
+you may define
+<B>MAX_TOPRULER_WD</B>
+
+and/or
+<B>MAX_SIDERULER_HT</B>
+
+in your Imakefile in the
+<I>DEFINES</I>
+
+line.
+For example,
+to have a maximum top ruler width of 1160 pixels, add
+<B>-DMAX_TOPRULER_WD=1160</B>
+
+to your
+<I>DEFINES</I>
+
+line in the Imakefile.
+<P>
+
+If the image is panned or the
+<I>xfig</I>
+
+window iconified and de-iconified
+during the middle of an operation (e.g. while drawing a line), the picture
+will be distorted.
+This can be corrected using
+<I>Redraw</I>
+
+after the operation is complete.
+<P>
+
+When zoomed very large, the length of dashes in dashed lines will top out
+at 255 pixels long. This is due to a restriction in X
+that the dash list is defined by char (255 pixels maximum for a dash).
+The figure will print correctly, however.
+<P>
+
+When you do a copy/rotate with multiple copies,
+only the creation of the last object can be undone with the Undo button.
+<P>
+
+Modifications to text using the popup search/update/replace/spell check panel
+cannot be undone.
+<P>
+
+See the
+<B>README</B>
+
+file for troubleshooting.

+<B>Version 3.1:</B>
+
+<P>
+
+<BR>
+
+The only difference between protocol version 3.0 and version 3.1 is
+that the position of the ``magnet'' has been shifted by 14 fig units.
+In the 2.1 and older versions of xfig the grid was in multiples of 5 fig
+units, but they were on intervals 4, 9, 14, 19, etc.
+When version 3.0 was created, coordinates were simply multiplied by the
+ratio of the resolutions (1200/80 = 15) so values like 4 became 60 instead
+of 74 ((4+1)*15 - 1).

+<B>Version 3.2:</B>
+
+<P>
+
+<BR>
+
+The changes to the version 3.2 file protocol are the addition of the
+paper size, print/export magnification, single/multiple page indicator
+and a transparent color name used for GIF export to the header
+of the file.
+<BR>
+
+The other difference in the version 3.2 protocol is the
+mathematical model used for splines. The new version
+uses X-splines which allows the user to mix interpolation and approximation
+points in a same curve. More precisely, it means that an X-spline curve
+is neither an interpolated spline nor an approximated one, it is BOTH
+(the behaviour of each point is controlled by one single parameter
+called ``shape factor''). For additional information about X-splines, see:
+<P>
+<BR> "X-Splines: A Spline Model Designed for the End User"
+<BR> by C. Blanc and C. Schlick, Proceedings of SIGGRAPH'95
+<BR> <A HREF="http://dept-info.labri.u-bordeaux.fr/~schlick/DOC/sig1.html">http://dept-info.labri.u-bordeaux.fr/~schlick/DOC/sig1.html</A>
+<P>
+Caveat: Because previous spline models (quadratic B-splines and Bezier
+with hidden points) are no longer supported, curves that are present
+in version 3.1 and older files are automatically converted to X-splines.
+This translation is only an approximation process. It means that the
+converted curves are not exactly the same as the original ones. Though
+they are usually very close, some hand-fitting may be needed in
+some pathological cases.
