This contains +specifications of the graphics elements. Axohelp converts this to a +file with extension ax2 that contains the necessary pdf code. +The .ax2 file is read by pdflatex (etc) on its next run, and the +contents of the .ax2 file are used in the final .pdf output file to +draw the desired graphics. + +The files processed are specified as follows: When the filename on the +command line is of the form file.ax1, then the input file is file.ax1 +and the output file is file.ax2. If the filename on the command line +does not have extension .ax1, then this extension is appended. + + +.SH OPTIONS +Options can be introduced by single or double hyphen characters.
