NAME

f2p − translates fig output into pic language

SYNOPSIS

f2p [ -f font_file ] [ input_file [ output_file ] ]

DESCRIPTION

F2p translates fig objects in the named input_file into pic language and puts them in output_file.  If only one file name is present, it is assumed to be the input file (fig output file).  The output file (pic_file), if not present, will be the stdout.  If the input_file is not present, input will be assumed to come from the stdin. 

The fonts used for text objects are converted from their LaserWriter names (as selected when using fig) to site-specific troff 2-letter font names using information in the file /usr/lib/X11/troff/troff_ft_codes, or a file named using the optional −f argument.  If a file named with this option is not found in the working directory it will be sought in /usr/lib/X11/troff. 

BUGS

Filling of closed objects is ignored.  It would be possible to generate pic instructions to produce some form of filling in f2p, but the filling feature really needs to be added to pic.
