.SH Description
.\" ====================================================================
.
.I pic2graph
reads a
.MR \%pic 1
program from the standard input and writes an image file,
by default in Portable Network Graphics (PNG) format,
to the standard output.
.
It furthermore translates
.MR \%eqn 1
constructs, so it can be used for generating images of mathematical
formulae.
.
.
.PP
The input PIC code should
.I not
be wrapped with the
.B .PS
and
.BR .PE / .PF
macros that normally guard it within
.MR groff 1
documents.
.
.
.\" FIXME: How old? This text hasn't been touched since 2008 at latest.
.\" Older versions of
.\" .I \%convert
.\" will produce a black-on-white graphic; newer ones may produce a
.\" black-on-transparent graphic.
.
.PP
Arguments not recognized by
.I pic2graph
are passed to the ImageMagick or GraphicsMagick program
.MR convert 1 .
.
.
By specifying these, you can give your image a border,
.\" Transparent backgrounds are the default in 2018.
.\" force the background transparent,
set the image's pixel density,
or perform other useful transformations.
.
.
.PP
The output image is clipped using
.IR \%convert 's
.B \-trim
option to the smallest possible bounding box that contains all the black
pixels.
.
.
.\" ====================================================================
.SH Options
.\" ====================================================================
.
.B \-\-help
displays a usage message,
while
.B \-v
and
.B \-\-version
show version information;
all exit afterward.
.
.TP
.BI \-eqn\~ delimiters
Use
.I delimiters
as the opening and closing
characters that delimit
.I \%eqn
directives;
the default is \(lq$$\(rq.
.
The option argument
.I delimiters
should be a two-character string,
but an empty string (\(dq\(dq) is accepted as a directive to disable
.I \%eqn
processing.
.
.
.TP
.BI \-format\~ output-format
Write the image in
.IR output-format ,
which must be understood by
.IR \%convert ;
the default is PNG.
.
.
.TP
.B \-unsafe
Run
.I groff
in
.I unsafe
mode, enabling the PIC command
.B sh
to execute arbitrary Unix shell commands.
.
The
.I groff
default is to forbid this.
.
