\par
The function arguments are variable names or nested Boolean functions.
Each unique variable {\sl var} causes an input point {\tt In}{\sl var}
to be defined. Preceding the variable by a {\tt \~{}} causes a NOT gate
to be drawn at the input.
The inputs are drawn in a row at the upper left by default.
An {\tt L} in arg2 draws the inputs in a column at the left;
{\tt R} reverses the order of the drawn inputs;
{\tt V} scans the expression from right to left
when listing inputs;
{\tt M} draws the left-right mirror image of the diagram;
and {\tt N} draws only the function tree without the input array.
The inputs are labelled {\tt In1}, {In2}, \ldots and the function
outputs are {\tt Out1}, {Out2}, \dots.
Each variable {\sl var} corresponds also to one of the input array
points with label {\tt In}{\sl var}.
Setting {\tt offset=}{\sl value} displaces the
drawn input list in order to disambiguate the input connections when {\tt L}
is used.

Pins are placed top to bottom or left to right along the box edges with
null {\sl pinspecs} counted for placement. Pins are named by side and number
by default; eg {\tt W1, W2, ..., N1, N2, ..., E1, ..., S1, ...} ; however,
if {\tt:}{\sl Picname} is present in a {\sl pinspec} then {\sl Picname}
replaces the default name.
A {\sl pinspec} label is text placed at the pin base. Semicolons are
not allowed in labels; use, e.g., {\tt \char92{}char59\char123\char125}
instead.
To put a bar over a label, use {\tt lg\_bartxt(}{\sl label}{\tt)}.
The {\sl pinopts} are {\tt[N|L|M][E]};
{\tt N}: pin with not circle;
{\tt L}: active low out;
{\tt M}: active low in;
