.SH DESCRIPTION
.I Cip
is an interactive drawing program that
writes

input files.
It provides a pallette of

shapes (box, circle, ellipse, line, arc, spline, and text)
for drawing and editing pictures on a screen.
There is a macro
facility for treating a collection of drawn shapes as a single entity.
The mouse
provides positional information.
The buttons invoke
drawing, editing, and command functions.
The keyboard is used only for typing in text
strings and filenames.
The pictures are saved as
.I pic
descriptions, and can be included with text,
tables, and equations as input to
.I troff.
Existing
.I pic
descriptions of pictures can be displayed and edited as well.
