XfigPad
This application is a tiny scribble pad for Xfig
to support you to draw mathematical formulas and equations
which are directly editable in Xfig.
Formulas and equations are described by LaTeX-like script used in Lout.
XfigPad exports the math equation objects you select to Xfig cut buffer (~/.xfig). So you can 'paste objects' in Xfig.
Ruby script
xfigpad.rb 0.5c ... work with ruby-1.8
xfigpad.rb 0.5d ... support ruby-2.0.0 and ruby-1.8

Requirements
You will need unix-like OS such as Linux, Cygwin to use XfigPad,
since XfigPad is depending to the following applications.
I myself am using XfigPad on Cygwin and CentOS
which provide the following applications as compiled packages
(except for Lout on Cygwin, but easy to compile).

- ruby-1.8.5-31.el5_9 or 2.0.0
- ruby-tcltk
- ruby-tcltk-1.8.5-31.el5_9
- lout (>=3.36)
-
