+%D This modules implements the conversion of graphic \TPIC\
+%D specials using \METAPOST.
+%D
+%D We reimplement the \TPIC\ specials using the special
+%D mimmicking mechanism implemented in the support module
+%D \type{supp-spe} as well as the \METAPOST\ run||time support
+%D implemented in \type{supp-mps}.

+%D When we want to mimmick \TPIC\ specials in \PDFTEX, we need
+%D to map its graphic primitives into \PDF\ ones. The main
+%D problem in doing so is that \PDF\ does not support b-splines
+%D directly and also does not offer us something to draw arcs.
+%D Of course all this scan be implemented in \TEX, and the
+%D first implementation of this module did so, but the results
+%D were not that satisfying. Not having used these specials
+%D before, I had for instance to find out that the \TPIC\
+%D specials were not that unambiguesly defined.
+%D
+%D Then, while discussing something else, Sebastian Ratz told
+%D me that the Web2c implementation that \PDFTEX\ is base upon,
+%D offers some rather discutable, but nevertheless handy
+%D feature:
+%D
+%D \starttyping
+%D \write18{execute program with arguments}
+%D \stoptyping
+%D
+%D Knowing this, I immediatelly decided to throw away the old
+%D conversion macros and use the marvelous \METAPOST, \TEX\
+%D related, drawing program to do the conversion in as high a
+%D quality as possible.
+%D
+%D implementation we're going to present here, not only uses
+%D for drawing purposes, but also uses the more efficient
+%D \METAPOST\ features to store the path.
+%D
+%D \in{Table}[tab:TPIC specials] lists the \TPIC\ specials as
+%D mentioned in the \LATEX\ Graphics Companion and the
+%D relevant part of the \DVIPS\ source. This list shows us
+%D that we have to store the path before we can use it, simply
+%D because we don't know in advance what actions to apply on
+%D it.

+%D The first problem we have to take care of is the fact that
+%D there is no decent begin or end of the drawing process
+%D defined. We can however be quite sure that writers of
+%D packages using these specials will put them into a box,
+%D simply because else this is the most common used way to
+%D treat something \TEX\ as as a whole, like:
+%D
+%D \starttyping
+%D \hbox{\special{}\special{}...}
+%D \stoptyping
+%D
+%D We just start a picture as soon as the first special is
+%D encountered, so this becomes:
+%D
+%D \starttyping
+%D \hbox{\openpicture\newspecial{}\newspecial{}...
+%D \stoptyping
+
+%D The first step in opening the picture is to start a group.
+%D Now we can savely use the egroup that closes the box to also
+%D end the picture.
+
+% BETER: check for context and include mp-tool.mp
+
+\def\startTPICspecials
+ {\bgroup
+ \let\startTPICspecials\relax
+ \aftergroup\stopTPICspecials
+ \resetMPdrawing
+ \startMPdrawing
+ input mp-tool.mp;
+ pair p[];
+ \stopMPdrawing}
+
+%D As soon as we begin a picture, we inhibit nesting by
+%D relaxing the start macro. The first \METAPOST\ action we
+%D take is declaring an array of pairs named $p$.
+
+%D Ending the picture is invoked by closing the current group.
+%D Because the \TPIC\ picture comes out mirrored, we have to
+%D reflect the current \METAPOST\ picture, stored in the system
+%D variable {\it currentpicture}, around the $x$-axis.
+
+\def\stopTPICspecials
+ {\startMPdrawing
+ currentpicture:=currentpicture reflectedabout ((0,0),(4095,0));
+ \stopMPdrawing
+ \MPdrawingdonetrue
+ \setbox\MPgraphicbox\hbox
+ {\getMPdrawing}%
+ \setbox\MPgraphicbox\hbox to \zeropoint
+ {\kern-\wd\MPgraphicbox
+ \vbox to \zeropoint{\box\MPgraphicbox\vss}\hss}%
+ \ht\MPgraphicbox\zeropoint
+ \wd\MPgraphicbox\zeropoint
+ \dp\MPgraphicbox\zeropoint
+ \box\MPgraphicbox
+ \egroup}
+
+%D Here the macro \type{\stopwritingMPgraphic} has to take care
+%D of executing and including the \METAPOST\ code.
+
+%D We need to keep track of the number of elements that form
+%D the path. This is needed because we don't know in advance
+%D how the points are to be connected.
+
+\newcount\TPICcounter
+
+%D When a path is draw, we can connect the points using a
+%D smooth curve of drawing straight lines. A closed path can be
+%D drawn or filled.
+
+\newif\ifTPICdraw
+\newif\ifTPICfill
+\newif\ifTPICcurve
+
+%D The \TPIC\ specials permit specifying the line and fill
+%D color as well as the linetype, which can be solid, dashed or
+%D dotted. We'll save those specifications as a \METAPOST\
+%D string, using:
+
+\let\TPIClinetype =\empty
+\let\TPICgrayscale=\empty
+
+%D The magic reduction factor $.07227$ is needed to map the
+%D \TPIC\ $1/1000$ of an inch to \POSTSCRIPT\ points. We cannot
+%D delegate this task to \METAPOST\ because this program does
+%D not accept values greater than 4095.
+
+%D I won't discuss all the specifics used in implementing
+%D the specials. The \METAPOST\ part is rather trivial. Many
+%D specials have much in common, so the amout of code is not
+%D that large.

+%D I have to admit that by using the \METAPOST\ B‚zier cubics
+%D routines these implementation does produce better curves
+%D then most \DVI\ drivers do using the \TPIC\ prescribed
+%D b-splines. Take for instance the sequence:
+%D
+%D \starttyping
+%D \special{pa 2000 1000}
+%D \special{pa 1000 2000}
+%D \special{pa 0000 1000}
+%D \special{pa 1000 0000}
+%D \special{pa 2000 1000}
+%D \special{sp}
+%D \stoptyping
+%D
+%D One would expect that this code produced a closed circle,
+%D but the curve that comes out using b-splines is far from
+%D round. We can however savely asume that the arc producing
+%D specials will be used for drawing circle fragments, while
+%D the path specials will be used for arbitraty curves. And for
+%D b-splines to produce nice curves, one will often use many
+%D points to get the desired results. Therefore, using the
+%D \METAPOST\ B‚zier curves will certainly produce similar and
+%D even better graphics, except in those rare cases where one
+%D uses delinberately the not that accurate features of
+%D b-splines. Hereby the user is warned.
