Hi, create a file foo.pic containing just one line: box hello world process like this: pic2graph -format jpg -density 90 foo.pic foo.jpg if you put foo.jpg into a web page you can see that there is a load of blank space below the box. This was using groff version 1.19.1 and

By the way, another weird little quirk which doesn't seem to be mentioned in my admittedly brief read of the documentation: if your diagram goes beyond the default width as understood by pic then it starts scaling the image automatically! It's really baffling when it first happens - you make

Hi, yes, that seems to work well (once I'd downloaded the groff-1.19.1 version of pic2graph, the one that comes with cygwin is buggy). Just one thing: it (ie convert) antialiases everything including the solid lines. If I turn off antialiasing it turns it off for the text too. Any suggestions?

Hmmm, what I didn't notice was that this time the _bottom_ of the image wasn't getting cropped! So I gave up on pic2graph and just used this: groff -p -P-pletter file.pic | convert -trim -density 90 - file.jpg Cheers, Dave David Griffiths wrote: Hi, yes, that seems to work well (once I'd

Hi Dave, Ah, using pnmraw instead of pnm makes everything 2-3 times faster! Yes, the textual netpbm formats are handy but processing of large images is quicker if the binary file format is used most of the time. That brings the pnm approach down to only twice the time of my final direct to

I've never found a good way to script this. The process I use is to open the postscript file with gimp, crop and save. It would be very pleasant to have a way to quickly generate high quality cropped images from groff. If anyone knows how to do that I'd like to know too. On Wed, May 11,
