Jpgfdraw is a graphics application written in Java.

You can use Jpgfdraw to:

• Construct shapes using lines, moves and cubic Bezier segments;
• Edit shapes by changing the defining control points;
• Incorporate text and bitmap images (for annotation and background effects);
• Extract the parameters for TeX's \parshape command and for \shapepar (defined in the shapepar package);
• Construct frames for use with the flowfram package;
• Pictures can be saved in Jpgfdraw's native binary format (JDR) or native ascii format (AJR) or can be exported as: * a pgfpicture environment for use in LaTeX documents with the pgf package; * a LaTeX2e package based on the flowfram package; * an encapsulated postscript file; * a PNG image file; * an SVG image file;
• Incorporate text and bitmap images (for annotation and background effects);
• Alternative text may be specified for use when exporting to a LaTeX file (e.g. if the text contains symbols or if it should be set in maths mode);
• Mappings may be used to specify what LaTeX font declarations should be used when exporting to a LaTeX file.
