.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.B grodvi
|
|
is a driver for
|
|
.B groff
|
|
that produces \*(tx dvi format.
|
|
Normally it should be run by
|
|
.BR groff\ \-Tdvi .
|
|
This will run
|
|
.BR troff\ \-Tdvi ;
|
|
it will also input the macros
|
|
.BR /usr/share/tmac/tmac.dvi ;
|
|
if the input is being preprocessed with
|
|
.B eqn
|
|
it will also input
|
|
.BR /usr/share/groff_font/devdvi/eqnchar .
|
|
.LP
|
|
The dvi file generated by
|
|
.B grodvi
|
|
can be printed by any correctly-written dvi driver.
|
|
The troff drawing primitives are implemented
|
|
using the tpic version 2 specials.
|
|
If the driver does not support these, the
|
|
.B \eD
|
|
commands will not produce any output.
|
|
.LP
|
|
There is an additional drawing command available:
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI \eD'R\ dh\ dv '
|
|
Draw a rule (solid black rectangle), with one corner
|
|
at the current position, and the diagonally opposite corner
|
|
at the current position
|
|
.RI +( dh , dv ).
|
|
Afterwards the current position will be at the opposite corner. This
|
|
produces a rule in the dvi file and so can be printed even with a
|
|
driver that does not support the tpic specials unlike the other
|
|
.B \eD
|
|
commands.
|
|
.LP
|
|
The groff command
|
|
.BI \eX' anything '
|
|
is translated into the same command in the dvi file as would be
|
|
produced by
|
|
.BI \especial{ anything }
|
|
in \*(tx;
|
|
.I anything may not contain a newline.
|
|
.LP
|
|
Font files for
|
|
.B grodvi
|
|
can be created from tfm files using
|
|
.BR tfmtodit (1).
|
|
The font description file should contain the following
|
|
additional commands:
|
|
.Tp \w'\fBinternalname'u+2n
|
|
.BI internalname\ name
|
|
The name of the tfm file (without the
|
|
.B .tfm
|
|
extension) is
|
|
.IR name .
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI checksum\ n
|
|
The checksum in the tfm file is
|
|
.IR n .
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI designsize\ n
|
|
The designsize in the tfm file is
|
|
.IR n .
|
|
.LP
|
|
These are automatically generated by
|
|
.B tfmtodit.
|
|
.LP
|
|
In
|
|
.B troff
|
|
the
|
|
.B \eN
|
|
escape sequence can be used to access characters by their position
|
|
in the corresponding tfm file;
|
|
all characters in the tfm file can be accessed this way.
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-d
|
|
Do not use tpic specials to implement drawing commands.
|
|
Horizontal and vertical lines will be implemented by rules.
|
|
Other drawing commands will be ignored.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-v
|
|
Print the version number.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI \-w n
|
|
Set the default line thickness to
|
|
.I n
|
|
thousandths of an em.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI \-F dir
|
|
Search directory
|
|
.IB dir /devdvi
|
|
for font and device description files.
|

Macros for use with

|
.BR grodvi .
|
|
.SH BUGS
|
|
Dvi files produced by
|
|
.B grodvi
|
|
use a different resolution (57816 units per inch) to those produced by
|
|
\*(tx.
|
|
Incorrectly written drivers which assume the resolution used by \*(tx,
|
|
rather than using the resolution specified in the dvi file will not
|
|
work with grodvi.
|
|
.LP
|
|
When using the
|
|
.B \-d
|
|
option with boxed tables,
|
|
vertical and horizontal lines can sometimes protrude by one pixel.
|
|
This is a consequence of the way \*(tx requires that the heights
|
|
and widths of rules be rounded.
