`type t = Command.t`

The abstract type of pictures

`val make : Command.t -> t`

Make a picture from a drawing command

`val tex : string -> t`

Take a string in Latex format and transform it into a picture

`val transform : Transform.t -> t -> t`

Apply a transformation to a picture

`val bbox : t -> Path.t`

Get the bounding box of a picture (with default padding, as in MetaPost)

`val corner_bbox : ?dx:Num.t -> ?dy:Num.t -> t -> Path.t`

Get the bounding box of a picture, according to its corners and supplied padding `dx` and `dy`.

`val center : Point.t -> t -> t`

Place a picture centered at some point

`val place_up_left : Point.t -> t -> t`

Place a picture with its upper left corner at some point

`val place_up_right : Point.t -> t -> t`

Place a picture with its upper right corner at some point

`val place_bot_left : Point.t -> t -> t`

Place a picture with its bottom left corner at some point

`val place_bot_right : Point.t -> t -> t`

Place a picture with its bottom right corner at some point

`val beside : t -> t -> t`

`beside p1 p2` returns a picture in which `p2` is placed right to `p1`

`val below : t -> t -> t`

`below p1 p2` returns a picture in which `p2` is placed below `p1`

### Special points of the bounding box of a picture

`val ctr : t -> Point.t`
`val north : t -> Point.t`
`val south : t -> Point.t`
`val west : t -> Point.t`
`val east : t -> Point.t`
`val north_west : t -> Point.t`

`val south_west : t -> Point.t`

`val north_east : t -> Point.t`

`val south_east : t -> Point.t`

`val corner : Command.position -> t -> Point.t`

### Special points of the bounding box of a picture (Deprecated)

`val ulcorner : t -> Point.t`

These have been superseded by the preceding functions

`val llcorner : t -> Point.t`
`val urcorner : t -> Point.t`
`val lrcorner : t -> Point.t`
`val clip : t -> Path.t -> t`

`clip pic path` limits `pic` to the cyclic path `path`; all elements outside of `path` are cut off.

### Dimensions

`val width : t -> Num.t`
`val height : t -> Num.t`

Predefined Transformations

`val scale : Num.t -> t -> t`
`val rotate : float -> t -> t`
`val shift : Point.t -> t -> t`
`val yscale : Num.t -> t -> t`
`val xscale : Num.t -> t -> t`
`val spin : float -> t -> t`

`val escape_latex : escaped list -> string -> string`
`val escape_all : string -> string`
`val set_pos : Point.t -> t -> t`
