  Larry Wong's xfig renderer project
The java xfig renderer is a java applet that renders figures generated by the xfig drawing format.
The application is "read-only", the xfig object(s) are displayed, but currently the only way to modify the object is to modify it with the actual xfig program.
The xfig renderer attempts to draw the original xfig data in a html page at a much higher resolution then if the user converted the xfig data to a gif file and imported to the html page.

A neural network color allocation scheme is used when the number of colors for all the color images on the canvas exceeds the lesser of the number of free colorcells or the value in the resource Max_image_colors (command-line parameter -max_image_colors).

 Xfig | Linux Journal
Xfig (facility for interactive generation of figures under X11) is a drawing program that provides a powerful (forget Windows Paintbrush!) tool to get the look you want.
