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
