Script: Figconverter

A simple, all-round script to convert ﬁles are given below. Put it in executable path or for
example in home directory (it will then be run by, for example, ~/figconverter). It will then
create the output ﬁles in the current directory.

#!/bin/bash

if [[ $# -eq 0 ]]
then

echo "Usage: $0 file1 [file2 ... fileN]"
exit 1

for filename; do

file=${filename%.fig} # Removes file ending ".fig"
file_fig="$filename"
file_pdf="$file.pdf"
file_pdf_t="$file.pdf_t"

fig2dev -L pdftex $file_fig $file_pdf
fig2dev -L pdftex_t -p $file_pdf $file_fig $file_pdf_t
