pic2graph(1) General Commands Manual pic2graph(1)
pic2graph - convert a pic diagram into a cropped image
pic2graph [-unsafe] [-format output-format] [-eqn delimiters]
[convert-argument ...]
pic2graph --help
pic2graph -v
pic2graph --version
pic2graph reads a pic(1) program from the standard input and
writes an image file, by default in Portable Network Graphics
(PNG) format, to the standard output. It furthermore translates
eqn(1) constructs, so it can be used for generating images of
mathematical formulae.
The input PIC code should not be wrapped with the .PS and
.PE/.PF/.PY macros that normally guard it within groff(1)
documents.
Arguments not recognized by pic2graph are passed to the
ImageMagick or GraphicsMagick program convert(1). By specifying
these, you can give your image a border, set the image's pixel
density, or perform other useful transformations.
The output image is clipped using convert's -trim option to the
smallest possible bounding box that contains all the black
pixels.
--help displays a usage message, while -v and --version show
version information; all exit afterward.
-eqn delimiters
Use delimiters as the opening and closing characters that
delimit eqn directives; the default is “$$”. The option
argument delimiters should be a two-character string, but
an empty string ("") is accepted as a directive to disable
eqn processing.
-format output-format
Write the image in output-format, which must be understood
by convert; the default is PNG.
-unsafe
Run groff in unsafe mode, enabling the PIC command sh to
execute arbitrary Unix shell commands. The groff default
is to forbid this.
GROFF_TMPDIR
TMPDIR
TMP
TEMP These environment variables are searched in the order
shown to determine the directory where temporary files
will be created. If none are set, /tmp is used.
