grodvi - convert groff output to TeX dvi format
SSYYNNOOPPSSIISS
ggrrooddvvii [ --ddvv ] [ --ww_n ] [ --FF_d_i_r ] [ _f_i_l_e_s... ]
It is possible to have whitespace between a command line
option and its parameter.
DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN
ggrrooddvvii is a driver for ggrrooffff that produces TeX dvi format.
Normally it should be run by ggrrooffff --TTddvvii. This will run
ttrrooffff --TTddvvii; it will also input the macros //uussrr//ffrreeee
wwaarree//sshhaarree//ggrrooffff//11..1177..22//ttmmaacc//ddvvii..ttmmaacc; if the input is
being preprocessed with eeqqnn it will also input //uussrr//ffrreeee
wwaarree//sshhaarree//ggrrooffff//11..1177..22//ffoonntt//ddeevvddvvii//eeqqnncchhaarr.
The dvi file generated by ggrrooddvvii can be printed by any
correctly-written dvi driver. The troff drawing primi
tives are implemented using the tpic version 2 specials.
If the driver does not support these, the \\DD commands will
not produce any output.
There is an additional drawing command available:
\\DD''RR _d_h _d_v''
Draw a rule (solid black rectangle), with one cor
ner at the current position, and the diagonally
opposite corner at the current position +(_d_h,_d_v).
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
\\DD commands.
The groff command \\XX''_a_n_y_t_h_i_n_g'' is translated into the same
command in the dvi file as would be produced by \\ssppee
cciiaall{{_a_n_y_t_h_i_n_g}} in TeX; _a_n_y_t_h_i_n_g _m_a_y _n_o_t _c_o_n_t_a_i_n _a _n_e_w_l_i_n_e_.
Font files for ggrrooddvvii can be created from tfm files using
ttffmmttooddiitt(1). The font description file should contain the
following additional commands:
iinntteerrnnaallnnaammee _n_a_m_e
The name of the tfm file (without the ..ttffmm
extension) is _n_a_m_e.
cchheecckkssuumm _n The checksum in the tfm file is _n.
ddeessiiggnnssiizzee _n The designsize in the tfm file is _n.
These are automatically generated by ttffmmttooddiitt..
In ttrrooffff the \\NN 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.
OOPPTTIIOONNSS
--dd Do not use tpic specials to implement drawing com
mands. Horizontal and vertical lines will be
implemented by rules. Other drawing commands will
be ignored.
--vv Print the version number.
--ww_n Set the default line thickness to _n thousandths of
an em.
--FF_d_i_r Prepend directory _d_i_r//ddeevvddvvii to the search path for
font and device description files.

Macros for use with ggrrooddvvii.
BBUUGGSS
Dvi files produced by ggrrooddvvii use a different resolution
(57816 units per inch) to those produced by TeX. Incor
rectly written drivers which assume the resolution used by
TeX, rather than using the resolution specified in the dvi
file will not work with ggrrooddvvii.
When using the --dd option with boxed tables, vertical and
horizontal lines can sometimes protrude by one pixel.
This is a consequence of the way TeX requires that the
heights and widths of rules be rounded.
