-.SH SYNOPSIS
-\*(mBtroff \-mpictures\f1
-.OP "" options []
-.OP "" files []
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.B mpictures
-is a macro package used to include PostScript pictures in
-.B troff
-documents.
-The package is compatible with many existing
-.B troff
-macro packages and includes the following three macros:
-.TP
-.MI .BP "\0file\0height\0width\0position\0offset\0flags\0label"
-.sp 0.3v
-Places the picture
-.I file
-in the space set aside by
-.IR height ,
-.IR width ,
-.IR position ,
-and
-.IR offset ,
-which together define and position the picture frame.
-The macro arguments are:
-.in +0.75i
-.de XX
-.sp 3p
-.ti -0.75i
-\f2\\$1\fP
-.sp -1v
-..
-.XX file
-Pathname of a PostScript picture
-.IR file .
-Appending
-.MI ( n )
-to
-.I file
-selects page number
-.I n
-from a multiple-page picture
-.IR file .
-By default the first page in
-.I file
-is selected.
-.XX height
-Vertical extent of the frame.
-The default is
-.MR 3i .
-.XX width
-Horizontal extent of the frame.
-The default is the current length of a line of text.
-.XX position
-One of
-.MR l ,
-.MR c ,
-or
-.MW r
-used to align the left, center, or
-right of the frame with the corresponding position
-on the current line of text.
-The default is
-.MR l .
-.XX offset
-Moves the frame right (positive) or left (negative)
-from the selected
-.IR position .
-The default is
-.MR 0i .
-.XX flags
-A string built from one or more of the following:
-.in +0.5i
-.sp 3p
-.de YY
-.br
-.ti -0.5i
-\*(mW\\$1\f1
-.sp -1v
-..
-.YY a[\f2d\*(mW]
-Rotate the picture clockwise
-.I d
-degrees.
-If
-.I d
-is omitted, 90 degrees is added to the
-current angle, which starts at zero.
-.YY o
-Outline the picture with a box.
-.YY s
-Freely scale both picture dimensions.
-.YY w
-White out (erase) the area to be occupied by the picture.
-.YY l
-Attach the picture to the left side of the frame.
-.YY r
-Attach the picture to the right side of the frame.
-.YY t
-Attach the picture to the top of the frame.
-.YY b
-Attach the picture to the bottom of the frame.
-.in -0.5i
-.XX label
-Place
-.I label
-1.5 vertical lines below the frame.
-.in -0.75i
-.sp 0.3v
-If there is room
-.MW .BP
-fills text around the frame.
-Everything destined for either side of the frame first
-goes into a diversion and only reappears when the accumulated
-text sweeps past the trap set by
-.MW .BP
-or when the diversion is explicitly closed
-by the
-.MW .EP
-macro (see below).
-.sp 0.5v
-Null arguments, represented by
-.MR \&"" ,
-are replaced by the defaults as noted above.
-.TP
-.MI .PI "\0file\0height,\|width,\|yoffset,\|xoffset\0flags"
-.sp 0.3v
-A low level macro used by
-.MR .BP .
-It can help if you are trying to do things that
-.MW .BP
-will not allow or does not do well.
-The two arguments not already described are:
-.in +0.75i
-.XX xoffset
-Moves the frame right (positive) or left (negative) from the
-left margin.
-The default is
-.MR 0i .
-.XX yoffset
-Moves the frame down (positive) or up (negative) from
-the current baseline.
-The default is
-.MR 0i .
-.in -0.75i
-.sp 0.3v
-The second argument is a comma separated list of four numbers,
-and although defaults are available, supplying values for all
-four numbers is recommended.
-.br
-.ne 2v
-.TP
-.MW .EP
-Ends a picture started by
-.MW .BP .
-An explicit
-.MW .EP
-call is not often required.
-Instead
-.MW .EP
-is usually called by
-.MW .BP
-at the bottom of each frame.
-.PP
-Much of what is done depends on file structuring comments
-commonly found in PostScript files.
-If the comments needed to isolate a particular page are missing
-the entire
-.I file
-is included.
-If a
-.MW %%BoundingBox
-comment is missing the picture is
-assumed to fill an 8.5\(mu11-inch page.
-A picture
-.I file
-that cannot be read when the
-.B troff
-postprocessor runs is replaced by white space.
-Nothing done in
-.MW .BP
-or
-.MW .PI
-guarantees the picture has not been placed off the page.
-All dimensions should be explicitly given in inches.
-.SH BUGS
-A picture and associated text can silently disappear if
-the diversion trap set by
-.MW .BP
-is not reached.
-Including a call to
-.MW .EP
-at the end of the paper
-should recover whatever appears to be missing.
-.PP
-Macros in other packages occasionally break the adjustments
-made to the line length and indent when text is being placed
-around a picture.
-.PP
-A missing or improper
-.MW %%BoundingBox
-comment often
-explains why a picture does not properly fill the space
-that has been set aside.
