One strategy I have used in the past for complicated pictures is
to generate my own xfig save files. The format is not really meant
to be human-readable, but it is plain text and documentation exists.
xfig can read these and export them in many formats. It can even
export pic format, but don't expect things like colors to work.
I usually export the pictures as encapsulated postscript. You
can generate the pictures however you want. I used a chain of
awk scripts--inefficient, but easy to debug.
