XFig is a menu-driven tool that allows the user to draw and manipulate objects interactively in an X window. The resulting pictures can be saved. If the fig2dev program is installed, which is contained in the fig2dev package, the pictures can be printed on postscript printers or converted to a variety of other formats (e.g. to allow inclusion in LaTeX documents or web pages).

This package contains several clip art libraries including arrows, flowcharts, charts, labels, knitting, GUI, chemical process flowsheets, logic, digital signal processing, Entity Relationship diagrams, UML, electronic, electrical, hospital equipment, structural analysis, optics, audiovisual objects, computers, networks, mechanical (DIN), music, welding, office equipment, furniture, buildings, flags, maps and several examples.
