RE: [9fans] PIC language

[<cej@gli.cas.cz>]

thanks a lot. i decided to generate directly ps and convert them to eps. still thinking of pic as an output format for another program i'm going to write -- not sur, however. maybe it'll be easier to do it directly in ps.

++pac.

One strategy I have used in the past for complicated pictures is to generate my own xfig save files.  The format is not really meant to be human-readable, but it is plain text and documentation exists. xfig can read these and export them in many formats.  It can even export pic format, but don't expect things like colors to work. I usually export the pictures as encapsulated postscript.  You can generate the pictures however you want.  I used a chain of awk scripts--inefficient, but easy to debug.
