Pic's language is pretty easy to learn. If you have
access to cip or xcip they were the original GUIs for
laying out pic images. There are reports that xfig
can output in cip format. Many preprocessors output
pic files (e.g. grap, dag, chem). Grap is fairly
general, while dag (later dotty et al.) lays out
graph structures and chem formats molecular diagrams.
These can exploit pic's programmability, which isn't
quite as powerful as PostScript but is much easier to
use.
