NAME
       tpic2pdftex - convert tpic \specials for	use by pdftex

SYNOPSIS
       pic -t somefile.pic | tpic2pdftex > somefile.tex

       Process somefile.tex by pdftex/pdflatex.

DESCRIPTION
       Experimental awk	script for conversion of tpic \specials	as produced by
       (groff-)pic  into pdfTeX	\pdfliteral sections for further processing by
       pdftex.

NOTES
       Current version:	1.97.

       tpic \special description see e.	g.: Goossens, Rahtz,  Mittelbach:  The
       LaTeX Graphics Companion, Addison-Wesley, 1997, pp. 464.

BUGS
       Spline  curve shapes not	fully authentic	(unknown algorithm).  Bounding
       box does	not care for line  thickness  (groff  pic  feature).   Splines
       might  be outside bounding box.	Fill color does	not work correctly for
       arrowheads (pic limitation).

SEE ALSO
       pic(1), grap(1),	groff(1), awk(1), pdftex(1).
