\begin{Description}\relax
\code{xfig} starts the graphics device driver for producing
XFig (version 3.2) graphics.

The auxiliary function \code{ps.options} can be used to set and view
(if called without arguments)
default values for the arguments to \code{xfig} and \code{postscript}.\end{Description}
\begin{Usage}
\begin{verbatim}
xfig(file = "Rplots.fig", ...)
\end{verbatim}
\end{Usage}
\begin{Details}\relax
Although \code{xfig} can produce multiple plots in one file, the XFig
format does not say how to separate or view them. So
\code{onefile=FALSE} is the default.\end{Details}
\begin{Note}\relax
One some line textures (\code{0 <= lty > 4}) are used. Eventually this
will be partially remedied, but the XFig file format does not allow as
general line textures as the \R{} model.  Unimplemented line textures
are displayed as \emph{dash-double-dotted}.

There is a limit of 512 colours (plus white and black) per file.\end{Note}
