NAME
     ggrn - groff preprocessor for gremlin files

SYNOPSIS
     ggrn [ -Cv ] [ -Tdev ] [ -Mdir ] [ -Fdir ] [ file... ]

     It  is  possible  to  have whitespace between a command line
     option and its parameter.

DESCRIPTION
     ggrn is a preprocessor for  including  gremlin  pictures  in
     groff  input.   ggrn  writes  to standard output, processing
     only input lines between two that start with  .GS  and  .GE.
     Those  lines  must contain ggrn commands (see below).  These
     commands request a gremlin file, and  the  picture  in  that
     file  is  converted  and  placed in the gtroff input stream.
     The .GS request may be followed by a C, L, or R  to  center,
     left,  or  right  justify the whole gremlin picture (default
     justification is center).  If  no  file  is  mentioned,  the
     standard  input  is  read.   At  the end of the picture, the
     position on the page is the bottom of the  gremlin  picture.
     If  the  ggrn  entry  is  ended with .GF instead of .GE, the
     position is left at the top of the picture.

     Please note that currently only the -me  macro  package  has
     support for .GS, .GE, and .GF.

     The following command-line options are understood:

     -Tdev
          Prepare  output for printer dev.  The default device is
          ps.  See groff(1) for acceptable devices.

     -Mdir
          Prepend dir to the  default  search  path  for  gremlin
          files.  The default path is (in that order) the current
          directory,         the         home          directory,
          /usr/lib/sparcv9/groff/site-tmac,
          /usr/share/groff/site-tmac,                         and
          /usr/share/groff/1.19.2/tmac.

     -Fdir
          Search dir for subdirectories devname (name is the name
          of the device) for the DESC  file  before  the  default
          font       directories      /usr/share/groff/site-font,
          /usr/share/groff/1.19.2/font, and /usr/lib/font.

     -C   Recognize .GS and .GE (and .GF) even when followed by a
          character other than space or newline.

     -v   Print the version number.

GRN COMMANDS
     Each  input  line between .GS and .GE may have one ggrn com-
     mand.  Commands consist of one or two strings  separated  by
     white space, the first string being the command and the sec-
     ond its operand.  Commands may be upper or  lower  case  and
     abbreviated down to one character.

     Commands  that  affect a picture's environment (those listed
     before default, see below) are only in effect for  the  cur-
     rent  picture:  The  environment  is  reinitialized  to  the
     defaults at the start of the next picture.  The commands are
     as follows:

     1 N
     2 N
     3 N
     4 N  Set  gremlin's  text  size  number  1 (2, 3, or 4) to N
          points.  The default is 12 (16,  24,  and  36,  respec-
          tively).

     roman f
     italics f
     bold f
     special f
          Set  the  roman  (italics,  bold,  or  special) font to
          gtroff's font f (either a name or number).  The default
          is R (I, B, and S, respectively).

     l f
     stipple f
          Set  the  stipple font to gtroff's stipple font f (name
          or number).  The command  stipple  may  be  abbreviated
          down  as far as `st' (to avoid confusion with special).
          There is no default for stipples (unless one is set  by
          the  default  command),  and it is invalid to include a
          gremlin picture  with  polygons  without  specifying  a
          stipple font.

     x N
     scale N
          Magnify  the picture (in addition to any default magni-
          fication) by N, a floating  point  number  larger  than
          zero.   The  command  scale  may be abbreviated down to
          `sc'.

     narrow N
     medium N
     thick N
          Set the  thickness  of  gremlin's  narrow  (medium  and
          thick,  respectively)  lines  to  N  times 0.15pt (this
          value can be changed at compile time).  The default  is
          1.0  (3.0  and 5.0, respectively), which corresponds to



Groff Version 1.19.2Last change: 7 August 2004                  2






User Commands                                             GGRN(1)



          0.15pt (0.45pt and 0.75pt, respectively).  A  thickness
          value  of  zero  selects  the  smallest  available line
          thickness.  Negative values cause the line thickness to
          be proportional to the current point size.

     pointscale <off/on>
          Scale  text to match the picture.  Gremlin text is usu-
          ally printed in the point size specified with the  com-
          mands  1, 2, 3, or 4, regardless of any scaling factors
          in the picture.   Setting  pointscale  will  cause  the
          point  sizes to scale with the picture (within gtroff's
          limitations, of course).  An operand  of  anything  but
          off will turn text scaling on.

     default
          Reset  the picture environment defaults to the settings
          in the current picture.  This is meant to be used as  a
          global  parameter setting mechanism at the beginning of
          the gtroff input file, but can be used at any  time  to
          reset the default settings.

     width N
          Forces the picture to be N inches wide.  This overrides
          any  scaling  factors  present  in  the  same  picture.
          `width 0' is ignored.

     height N
          Forces  picture  to  be N inches high, overriding other
          scaling factors.  If  both  `width'  and  `height'  are
          specified  the  tighter  constraint  will determine the
          scale of the picture.  Height and  width  commands  are
          not  saved with a default command.  They will, however,
          affect point size scaling if that option is set.

     file name
          Get picture from gremlin file name located the  current
          directory  (or  in  the  library  directory; see the -M
          option above).  If two file  commands  are  given,  the
          second one overrides the first.  If name doesn't exist,
          an error message is reported and  processing  continues
          from the .GE line.

NOTES ABOUT GROFF
     Since  ggrn is a preprocessor, it doesn't know about current
     indents, point sizes, margins, number registers, etc.   Con-
     sequently, no gtroff input can be placed between the .GS and
     .GE requests.  However, gremlin text  is  now  processed  by
     gtroff,  so  anything legal in a single line of gtroff input
     is legal in a line of gremlin text (barring  `.'  directives
     at  the  beginning of a line).  Thus, it is possible to have
     equations within a gremlin figure by including in the  grem-
     lin  file  eqn  expressions  enclosed  by previously defined

     delimiters (e.g.  $$).

     When using ggrn along with other preprocessors, it  is  best
     to run tbl before ggrn, pic, and/or ideal to avoid overwork-
     ing tbl.  Eqn should always be run last.

     A picture is considered an entity,  but  that  doesn't  stop
     gtroff from trying to break it up if it falls off the end of
     a page.  Placing the picture between `keeps' in  -me  macros
     will ensure proper placement.

     ggrn  uses  gtroff's number registers g1 through g9 and sets
     registers g1 and g2 to the width and height of  the  gremlin
     figure  (in  device  units)  before entering the .GS request
     (this is for those who want to rewrite these macros).

GREMLIN FILE FORMAT
     There exist two distinct gremlin file formats, the  original
     format from the AED graphic terminal version, and the SUN or
     X11 version.  An extension to the SUN/X11  version  allowing
     reference points with negative coordinates is not compatible
     with the AED version.  As long as a gremlin  file  does  not
     contain  negative  coordinates,  either  format will be read
     correctly by either version of gremlin or ggrn.   The  other
     difference  to  the  SUN/X11  format is the use of names for
     picture objects (e.g., POLYGON, CURVE) instead  of  numbers.
     Files  representing the same picture are shown in Table 1 in
     each format.

          string  gremlinfile  (AED  version)  or  sungremlinfile
          (SUN/X11)

     o    The second line of the file  contains  an  orientation,
          and  x  and y values for a positioning point, separated
          by spaces.  The orientation, either 0 or 1, is  ignored
          by the SUN/X11 version.  0 means that gremlin will dis-
          play things in horizontal format  (drawing  area  wider
          than  it  is tall, with menu across top).  1 means that
          gremlin will display things in vertical format (drawing
          area  taller  than it is wide, with menu on left side).
          x and y are floating point values giving a  positioning
          point  to  be  used when this file is read into another
          file.  The stuff on this line  really  isn't  all  that
          important; a value of ``1 0.00 0.00'' is suggested.

     o    The  rest  of the file consists of zero or more element
          specifications.  After the last  element  specification
          is a line containing the string ``-1''.

     o    Lines  longer  than  127 characters are chopped to this
          limit.

ELEMENT SPECIFICATIONS
     o    The first line of each element contains a single  deci-
          mal number giving the type of the element (AED version)
          or its ASCII name (SUN/X11 version).  See Table 2.

     o    After the object type comes a variable number of lines,

          each  specifying  a  point used to display the element.
          Each line contains an x-coordinate and  a  y-coordinate
          in  floating  point  format,  separated by spaces.  The
          list of points is terminated by a line  containing  the
          string  ``-1.0  -1.0'' (AED version) or a single aster-
          isk, ``*'' (SUN/X11 version).

     o    After the points comes a line  containing  two  decimal
          values, giving the brush and size for the element.  The
          brush determines the style in which things  are  drawn.
          For vectors, arcs, and curves there are six legal brush
          values:

                      1 -       thin dotted lines
                      2 -       thin dot-dashed lines
                      3 -       thick solid lines
                      4 -       thin dashed lines
                      5 -       thin solid lines
                      6 -       medium solid lines

          For polygons, one more value, 0, is legal.   It  speci-
          fies a polygon with an invisible border.  For text, the
          brush selects a font as follows:

                    1 -       roman (R font in groff)
                    2 -       italics (I font in groff)
                    3 -       bold (B font in groff)
                    4 -       special (S font in groff)

          If you're using  ggrn  to  run  your  pictures  through
          groff,  the  font  is  really just a starting font: The
          text  string  can  contain  formatting  sequences  like
          ``\fI'' or ``\d'' which may change the font (as well as
          do many other things).  For text, the size field  is  a
          decimal  value between 1 and 4.  It selects the size of
          the font in which the text will be  drawn.   For  poly-
          gons,  this size field is interpreted as a stipple num-
          ber to fill the polygon with.  The number  is  used  to
          index into a stipple font at print time.

     o    The last line of each element contains a decimal number
          and a string  of  characters,  separated  by  a  single
          space.   The number is a count of the number of charac-
          ters in the string.  This information is only used  for
          text elements, and contains the text string.  There can
          be spaces inside the text.  For arcs, curves, and  vec-
          tors,  this  line  of  the  element contains the string
          ``0''.

NOTES ON COORDINATES
     gremlin was designed for AEDs, and its  coordinates  reflect
     the  AED  coordinate space.  For vertical pictures, x-values



Groff Version 1.19.2Last change: 7 August 2004                  6






User Commands                                             GGRN(1)



     range 116 to 511, and y-values from 0 to 483.  For  horizon-
     tal  pictures,  x-values  range  from  0 to 511 and y-values
     range from 0 to 367.  Although you needn't absolutely  stick
     to  this range, you'll get best results if you at least stay
     in this vicinity.  Also, point lists  are  terminated  by  a
     point  of (-1, -1), so you shouldn't ever use negative coor-
     dinates.   gremlin  writes  out  coordinates  using   format
     ``%f1.2'';  it's probably a good idea to use the same format
     if you want to modify the ggrn code.

NOTES ON SUN/X11 COORDINATES
     There is no longer a restriction on the range of coordinates
     used  to  create  objects in the SUN/X11 version of gremlin.
     However, files with negative coordinates will cause problems
     if displayed on the AED.
