figtoipe - Convert FIG figures into Ipe format

figtoipe converts files in FIG format (as created, e.g., by xfig) to Ipe's XML format.

       figtoipe is not complete.  The main lacking feature is the conversion of splines.  Arc-boxes are replaced
       by rectangles.  Feel free to improve this version!

       The  drawing  models  of  FIG  and  Ipe  are  somewhat  different.   Ipe  does not support depth ordering
       independent of grouping, pattern fill, and Postscript fonts.

       figtoipe tries to include images specified in the XFIG file. For JPEG  pictures,  it  tries  include  the
       compressed image data into the XML file. For files not recognized as JPEG, anytopnm is called; its output
       is compressed and included in the XML file. Some output of anytopnm might be rejected (e.g. images larger
       than 5000x5000 pixels or B&W bitmaps), or misunderstood.
