PIC2GRAPH(1)                                                                                    PIC2GRAPH(1)



NAME
       pic2graph - convert a PIC diagram into a cropped image

SYNOPSIS
       pic2graph [ -unsafe ] [ -format fmt ] [ -eqn delim ]

DESCRIPTION
       Reads a PIC program as input; produces an image file (by default in Portable Network Graphics format)
       suitable for the Web as output.  Also translates eqn(1) constructs, so it can be used for  generating
       images of mathematical formulae.

       PIC is a rather expressive graphics minilanguage suitable for producing box-and-arrow diagrams of the
       kind frequently used in technical papers and textbooks.  The language is sufficiently flexible to  be
       quite  useful  for  state  charts, Petri-net diagrams, flow charts, simple circuit schematics, jumper
       layouts, and other kinds of illustration involving repetitive uses  of  simple  geometric  forms  and
       splines.  Because PIC descriptions are procedural and object-based, they are both compact and easy to
       modify.

       The PIC language is fully documented in "Making Pictures With GNU PIC", a document which is  part  of
       the groff(1) distribution.

       Your  input  PIC code should not be wrapped with the .PS and .PE macros that normally guard it within
       groff(1) macros.

       The output image will be a black-on-white graphic clipped to the smallest possible bounding box  that
       contains all the black pixels.  By specifying command-line options to be passed to convert(1) you can
       give it a border, set the background transparent, set the image's pixel  density,  or  perform  other
       useful transformations.

       This  program  uses  pic(1),  eqn(1), groff(1), gs(1), and the ImageMagick convert(1) program.  These
       programs must be installed on your system and accessible on your $PATH for pic2graph to work.

OPTIONS
       -unsafe
              Run pic(1) and groff(1) in the `unsafe' mode enabling the PIC macro sh  to  execute  arbitrary
              commands.  The default is to forbid this.

       -format fmt
              Specify  an  output  format;  the default is PNG (Portable Network Graphics).  Any format that
              convert(1) can emit is supported.

       -eqn delim
              Change the fencepost characters that delimit eqn(1) directives ($ and $,  by  default).   This
              option  requires an argument, but an empty string is accepted as a directive to disable eqn(1)
              processing.

       Command-line switches and arguments not listed above are passed to convert(1).

FILES
       /usr/share/groff/1.19.2/tmac/eqnrc  The eqn(1) initialization file.

ENVIRONMENT
       GROFF_TMPDIR
              The directory in which temporary files will be created.  If this is not set pic2graph searches
              the  environment  variables TMPDIR, TMP, and TEMP (in that order).  Otherwise, temporary files
              will be created in /tmp.

SEE ALSO
       eqn2graph(1), grap2graph(1), pic(1), eqn(1), groff(1), gs(1), convert(1).
