     CIP(9.1)                                                 CIP(9.1)

     NAME
          cip - picture drawing program

     SYNOPSIS
          cip

     DESCRIPTION
          Cip is an interactive drawing program that writes pic(1)
          input files.  It provides a pallette of pic 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 file-
          names.  The pictures are saved as pic descriptions, and can
          be included with text, tables, and equations as input to
          troff. Existing pic descriptions of pictures can be dis-
          played and edited as well.

          Cip relies on the host machine only for file transfers.  If
          the host crashes while you are creating or modifying a pic-
          ture, there is no way to save the picture.
