Hi Debian users,
I've to draw some simple vector graphics. I started looking for
options
in Debian distribution. First I tried tgif but it loads with green and black
colours only. Very strange. Anyone knows why?
My tgif version is:
Package: tgif
Status: hold ok installed
Priority: optional
Section: non-free/graphics
Installed-Size: 1443
Maintainer: Adrian Bridgett <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Version: 1:3.0-p17-7
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.0.7u), xlib6g (>= 3.3-5)
Conflicts: tgifR5, tgifR6
Description: Interactive 2-D drawing facility under X11.
Tgif has little to do with GIF files. It is a 2-D vector based drawing
program which can produce output suitable for LaTeX or in PostScript.
Next I tried xfig but when I type xfig I get an X error (both in E CVS
15 and WMaker 0.50.2):
[21:09:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$xfig
Warning: locale not supported by Xlib, locale set to C
X Error of failed request: BadPixmap (invalid Pixmap parameter)
Major opcode of failed request: 54 (X_FreePixmap)
Resource id in failed request: 0x0
Serial number of failed request: 3386
Current serial number in output stream: 3400
Anyone konws why? I have the lastest X packages (3.2.3.10)
My xfig version is:
[21:11:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$dpkg -s xfig
Package: xfig
Status: hold ok installed
Priority: optional
Section: graphics
Installed-Size: 827
Maintainer: Edawrd Betts <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Version: 1:3.2.2-2
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.0.7u-6), libjpeg62, xlib6g (>= 3.3-5), xpm4g (>= 3.4j-0)
Recommends: transfig, xfig-doc (= 1:3.2.2-2)
Suggests: gimp
Description: Facility for Interactive Generation of figures under X11
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, printed
on postscript printers, or converted to a variety of other formats (e.g. to
allow inclusion in LaTeX documents).
Next I tried sketch. It looks very good and nice with TkStep
installed. I didnt used it because it didnt export eps files, only ps. Am I
wrong?
And finally, I tried tkpaint. Very nice too and exports eps files.
Nice to see Debian with user programs too.
Have a nice day, Paulo Henrique
