### Setting of Fonts or Colors, etc

`-boldFont` font (`-bol`)
  Set the font used to display file names or confirmation messages, etc. The default is `8x13bold`.

`-scalablefonts` (`-sc`)
  Allows use of the X11R5 or OpenWindows scalable fonts. This is the default. If the scalable fonts aren't available, xfig will automatically switch to non-scaling fonts.

`-noscalablefonts` (`-nos`)
  Disable use of the X11R5 or OpenWindows scalable fonts. You might want to use this for debugging.

`-cbg` color
  Set the background color of the canvas. If you want to set the background color of everything in xfig (menus, etc), use the general `-bg` option.

`-cfg` color
  Set the default color of objects. If you want to set the foreground color of everything in xfig (menus, etc), use the general `-fg` option.

`-monochrome` (`-mo`)
  Use black and white only for display.

`-max_image_colors` numcols (`-max`)
  Limit the number of colors used for imported EPS, GIF, JPEG, etc. pictures to numcols. The default is 64. Xfig uses a Kohonen neural net algorithm to map the colors in imported pictures to the limited set available to it.

`-dontswitchcmap` (`-dontsw`)
  Normaly, xfig will switch to a private colormap when not enough colors are available in the default colormap, but this option will inhibit the switch. See also `-max_image_colors`.

`-visual` visualname
  Use visualname as the visual. visualname is one of TrueColor, StaticColor, DirectColor, StaticGray, GrayScale, and PseudoColor. xfig uses the default visual unless this is specified.
  Use the `xdpyinfo` command to see which visuals and depths are supported. See also `-depth` option.

`-depth` (`-dep`)
  Choose depth of visual desired.
  Use `xdpyinfo` to see what visuals and depths are supported. See also `-visual` option.

### Settings for the Size of Windows, etc.

`-geometry` [W`x`H`]+`x`+`y (`-geom`)
  Set the size and/or position of the xfig window. You may use this to set the size of the main xfig window, or you may instead set the size of the drawing canvas in inches or cm using the `-pwidth` and `-pheight` options.

`-iconGeometry` `+`x`+`y (`-iconG`)
  Set the position for the xfig icon on the display.

`-pheight` height (`-ph`)
  Set the height of the xfig canvas to height. height is either cm or inches, depending on the selected unit.

`-pwidth` width (`-pw`)
  Set the width of xfig canvas to width. width is either cm or inches, depending on the selected unit.

`-but_per_row` number (`-but_`)
  Specify how many buttons wide the mode panel should be. This is useful in conjunction with the `-pheight` option to reduce the canvas height for small screens. The default is 2. Also, xfig may be compiled to use smaller icons for the mode panel. See Small Icons.

`-left` (`-le`)
  Put the drawing and editing mode panel on the left side of the canvas. This is the default.

`-right` (`-ri`)
  Put the drawing and editing mode panel on the right of the canvas. The default is left.

`-showallbuttons` (`-showa`)
  Always show all the indicator buttons instead of only those relevant to the current drawing or editing mode. This takes up more screen real estate, but allows the user to see all settable parameters. Normally, each indicator button will only appear when it is relevant to the current drawing mode.

`-internalBW` width
  Set the width of lines between all buttons and panels. The default is 2.

### Other Settings

`-help` (`-h`)
  Print all command-line options for xfig and quit.

  Popup/don't popup balloon messages when the cursor passes over buttons etc. The default is to show the balloons.

  Specify the delay time in milliseconds before the information balloons popup. The default is 500 milliseconds.

`-showlengths` (`-showl`)
`-dontshowlengths` (`-dontshowl`)
  Makes xfig show the lengths of lines being drawn, in red text near the line itself. Also, when points are moved or added. In addition, imagine a triangle formed with the line segment being drawn as the hypotenuse, and a vertical and horizontal line forming the other two sides. These lines and their lengths are also drawn in red as the point is moved or added.

`-spellcheck` spell-check-command (`-spel`)
  Specify the spell check program to use when checking spelling of text objects. The default is `spell'.

`-tablet` (`-ta`)
  Specifies that xfig should use the input tablet instead of the mouse for drawing. You must have the XInputExtension in your X server and an input tablet for this to work, and xfig must be compiled with the `TABLIB` and `USETAB` variables set in the `Imakefile` for it to use the tablet.
  Use `xdpyinfo` to see if your server supports the XInputExtension.

`-keyFile` compose-key-file (`-k`)
  Use compose-key-file instead of `CompKeyDB` for compose key database. If there are no ``/`'s in the name, the file must reside in the xfig library directory $XFIGLIBDIR (normally `/usr/local/lib/X11/xfig`). If there are any ``/`'s in the name it is taken as is (not relative to $XFIGLIBDIR). If the name is start with ``~/`', it will replaced to the user's home directory.

`-track` (`-trac`)
`-notrack` (`-not`)
  Turn on or off cursor (mouse) tracking arrows. The default is to track the cursor position by displaying arrows on the top and side ruler.

`-international`
  Turn on Japanese (internationalization) facility. Xfig must be compiled with the Japanese support facility . Japanese can't be used in Japanese-xfig unless this option is specified when invoking xfig or the `international` resource is set to ON.

# Resources

Here are resources which may be used to customize xfig. They are usually specified by putting lines into the resource database file of xfig, such as `/usr/X11/lib/app-defaults/Fig` or the user's own resource file which must be read by `xrdb`.

### A note about xfig color resources:

Generally, the user should have a common resource ``*customization: -color`' set if they have a color display. This signals the X system (version 4 and later) to look for the `XXX-color` app-defaults file in the applications defaults directory. In that file (e.g. ```Fig-color`'') the color definitions are used and it is responsible for including the main app-defaults file `Fig`.
