+
+<p>Each graphics or drawing command in the intermediate output starts with
+the letter &lsquo;<samp class="samp">D</samp>&rsquo;, followed by one or two characters that specify a
+subcommand; this is followed by a fixed or variable number of integer
+arguments that are separated by a single space character. A &lsquo;<samp class="samp">D</samp>&rsquo;
+command may not be followed by another command on the same line (apart
+from a comment), so each &lsquo;<samp class="samp">D</samp>&rsquo; command is terminated by a syntactical
+line break.
+</p>
+<p><code class="code">gtroff</code> output follows the classical spacing rules (no space
+between command and subcommand, all arguments are preceded by a single
+space character), but the parser allows optional space between the
+command letters and makes the space before the first argument optional.
+As usual, each space can be any sequence of tab and space characters.
+</p>
+<p>Some graphics commands can take a variable number of arguments. In this
+case, they are integers representing a size measured in basic units
+&lsquo;<samp class="samp">u</samp>&rsquo;. The arguments called <var class="var">h1</var>, <var class="var">h2</var>, &hellip;, <var class="var">hn</var>
+stand for horizontal distances where positive means right, negative
+left. The arguments called <var class="var">v1</var>, <var class="var">v2</var>, &hellip;, <var class="var">vn</var> stand
+for vertical distances where positive means down, negative up. All
+these distances are offsets relative to the current location.
+</p>
+<p>Each graphics command directly corresponds to a similar <code class="code">gtroff</code>
+<code class="code">\D</code> escape sequence. See <a class="xref" href="Drawing-Geometric-Objects.html">Drawing Geometric Objects</a>.
+</p>
+<p>Unknown &lsquo;<samp class="samp">D</samp>&rsquo; commands are assumed to be device-specific. Its
+arguments are parsed as strings; the whole information is then sent to
+the postprocessor.
+</p>
+<p>In the following command reference, the syntax element &lsaquo;<span class="r">line
+break</span>&rsaquo; means a syntactical line break as defined above.
