 SLxfig will not usually come with your standard ISIS installation, but it's an easy to install module. Get it from [http://www.jedsoft.org/fun/slxfig/ JedSoft/Xfig]

+== the autoeps and tmp folders ==
 The autoeps and tmp folders are always created by default in the folder you're executing your script. These folders contain caching information such that plotting of the same or similar things doesn't have to be done over and over again from scratch. As you have them in each folder separately, these folders tend to be annoying. Either you're deleting the folders occasionally, or you spent quite some amount of disk space for really useless stuff. The solution is to tell slxfig to create these folders in a specifc location. There they don't take up space on /home or /userdata and don't appear in your scripting folders.
