Is their anyone here old enough to remember Xfig ?

I was quite proud of the hours of work I had put in to configure it just so, with the 3d look and all.

My thought exactly when I saw the post.

xfig should still work, right? I remember that it could only export to .fig and .eps files, not latex or any other plot format.

When linked with transfig their is a whole lot of file format it supports. Most distributions will package them together.

I do. I used it in the late noughts for my cryptology BSc because I was too lazy/busy to learn TikZ proper

Tikz by hand for busy diagrams can be a whole lot of work.

What I loved about Xfig was that one could use latex and latex fonts in the diagrams.
