Hello, I'm searching for a way to put strings in pic variable, but found no way doing it. What I like to do is something like:
.PS bcolor = "red" define cbox { box wid $1 color bcolor } .PE .PS cbox(1) "this is red" bcolor "yellow" cbox(1) "this is yellow" .PE Another interesting feature would be if \n[.M] could return the numerical values of the color components. In this case one could define a new color which is sometimes darker or more bright, or "more red" etc. This can be used to produce shaded colored boxes in pic. Hope I get help Regards Heinz _______________________________________________ Groff mailing list Groff@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/groff
