+# eqn2graph -- compile EQN equation descriptions to bitmap images
+#
+# by Eric S. Raymond <esr@thyrsus.com>, July 2002
+#
+# In Unixland, the magic is in knowing what to string together...
+#
+# Take an eqn equation on stdin, emit cropped bitmap on stdout.
+# The eqn markup should *not* be wrapped in .EQ/.EN, this script will do that.
+# A -format FOO option changes the image output format to any format
+# supported by convert(1). All other options are passed to convert(1).
+# The default format is PNG.
+#
+# This is separate from pic2graph because pic processing has some weird
+# clipping effect on the output, mangling equations that are very wide
+# or deep. Besides, this tool can supply its own delimiters.
+#
+
+# Requires the groff suite and the ImageMagick tools. Both are open source.
+# This code is released to the public domain.
+#
+# Here are the assumptions behind the option processing:
+#
+# 1. None of the options of eqn(1) are relevant.
+#
+# 2. Many options of convert(1) are potentially relevant, (especially
+# -density, -interlace, -transparency, -border, and -comment).
+#
+# Thus, we pass everything except -format to convert(1).
