With the large number of packages for LaTeX, and such, I expected to find the transfig-shapepatch compiled into either xfig or transfig, but they are not. With such an addition, xfig and/or transfig would become much more useful to a LaTeX user. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. transfig -L shape shape.fig shape.shape Actual Results: Error: Output unknown language "shape" Expected Results: `transfig` should have converted the Xfig file into a shape file for usage in latex with the shapepar.sty package.

thanks for your comments, neatly organised and the patch, i'll look into this as soon as i can.
Sorry for the delay. (It's nearly a year old!) I think it's good to add the feature, so I applied and tested the patch to both xfig and transfig, and bumped their revision. Thanks for reporting.
