TBL7 provides a language for formatting tabular Preprocessors for other aspects of document preparation. The success of EQN has led to languages and Used in many other macro-based formatters, and is an Sub-headings, and displays and thus not really need For instance, a set of standard, compatible macro packages allows users to specify documents in terms of logical divisions like paragraphs, Naked form, it has been concealed by a variety of special languages. Since TROFF is unbelievably hard to use in its Pipeline, where the output of EQN passes directly to In a Unix environment, EQN and TROFF usually run together in a Mathematical parts of the text, while copying the restДЇrom input to output untouched. With a very different flavor from, a formatter likeД®QN operates as a preprocessor it translates PAGE-2, 2,3 and somewhat more powerful than, but Some extent style) with commercial formatters like ] TROFF is comparable in capabilities (and to TROFF, a formatter written originally by J. The Unix~operating system provides a family of programs for document preparation. This paper describes PIC, with primary emphasis on those aspects of the language that Gone into making it possible to specify the sizes and positions of objects with minimal use of May be placed anywhere and labeled with arbitrary text. The basic objects in PIC are boxes, lines, arrows, drcles, ellipses, arcs and splines, which PIC is a language for specifying pictures so that they can be typeset as an integral part of a
