Bentley and +Brian W. Kernighan, revised May 1991, which is the primary source for +information on how to use grap. + +grap is a pic pre-processor. It takes commands embedded in a troff +source file which are surrounded by .G1 and .G2 macros, and rewrites +them into pic commands to display the graph. + +Because grap is a pic preprocessor, and GNU pic will output TeX, it is +possible to use grap with TeX. |
