NAME
mpictures – picture inclusion macros |
SYNOPSIS
troff –mpictures [ options ] file ... |
DESCRIPTION
Mpictures macros insert PostScript pictures into troff(1) documents.
The macros are: .BP source height width position offset flags label
If a PostScript file lacks page–delimiting comments, the entire
file is included. If no %%BoundingBox comment is present, the
picture is assumed to fill an 8.5×11–inch page. Nothing prevents
the picture from being placed off the page. |
SEE ALSO
troff(1) |
DIAGNOSTICS
A picture file that can't be read by the PostScript postprocessor
is replaced by white space. |
BUGS
A picture and associated text silently disappear if a diversion
trap set by .BP isn't reached. Call .EP at the end of the document
to retrieve it. Macros in other packages may break the adjustments made to the line length and indent when text is being placed around a picture. A missing or improper %%BoundingBox comment may cause the frame to be filled incorrectly. |
