ABSTRACT
The pic language is a troff extension that makes it easy to create and alter box-and-arrow diagrams of the kind frequently used in technical papers and textbooks. This paper is both an introduction to and reference for gpic(1), the implementation distributed by the Free Software Foundation for use with groff(1). It also catalogs other implementations and explains the differences among them.
