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  Com-
       panion, 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).
