F2P(1) UNIX System V (12 March 1990) F2P(1)
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.
