I believe you can draw one curved line, copy and paste this line by moving along horizontally or vertically. But drawing a curved line a bit tricky. AFAIK, xfig does not provide any option to draw freehand curve.Please, I need to draw some simple maps. My initial idea is to use xfig. Canals/rivers are no problem, I can use thick lines. 1. how can I indicate roads using parallel curved lines ?
You can group objects then cut andpaste the objects. At a later point of time, you can ungroup the objects if the need arises.2. how can I create re-useable objects like bridges and canal locks ?
I used to use, xfig before. But afterwards, I shifted to Texmacs' built in drawing editor for drawing images. It can do most of the xfig's stuff and has lot of other functionalities. I dont think texmacs can do free hand curves either.Any other suggestions ?
On Debian systems, you can apt-get install texmacs. raju -- Kamaraju S Kusumanchi http://www.people.cornell.edu/pages/kk288/ http://malayamaarutham.blogspot.com/
