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 pdf-
     tex.

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).
