This seems to work:- .sp 2i .PS 18i 5i for j=1 to 18 do ! ellipse "Deri"; arrow; ! .PE And run it with this:- groff -Tpdf -p -P-p5i,20i pic.trf > pic.pdf The two numbers after .PS are wildth and height, and after -P-p are length and width of the papersize. If I run pic on its own against the pic.trf file, the .PS line is changed to:- .PS 0.400i 18.000i 18i 5i I think the first two numbers are now the actual dimensions of the picture created. I hope this helps. Cheers Deri
