FD2PS(1L)							   Forms Library							 FD2PS(1L)

NAME

       fd2ps -	Translates fdesign output to PostScript

SYNOPSIS

       fd2ps [-options] input.[fd] [output]

DESCRIPTION

       The  program  fd2ps  translates the fd file produced by the interface builder program fdesign of the Forms Library into PostScript (ps), or
       optionally Encapsulated PostScript (eps) for printing or inclusion into other documents. The input file can be given with  or  without  the
       .fd  extension.	 If  output file name is not specified, used is a filename derived from the input file name by replacing the .fd extension
       with ps or eps. If output filename is specified as -, stdout is used.

OPTIONS

       fd2ps accepts the following command line options

       -help Prints a brief summary of all command line options.

       -version
	     Prints the current version of fd2ps and exits.

       -p    The option requests portrait orientation.	By default, the orientation is switched to landscape if portrait will not  fit	the  page.
	     This option overrides the default.

       -l    This options requests landscape output.

       -bw n Specifies the border width of the interface. By default this information is obtained from the .fd file.

       -eps  This option requests Encapsulated PostScript instead of the plain PostScript output.

       -gray This options requests all colors be converted to gray levels. By default, fd2ps outputs colors as specified in the .fd file.

       -G f  specifies	a  gamma  factor  that	will  be used to adjust the builtin colors in a non-linear fashion.  It can be thought as a way to
	     brighten or dim the builtin colors: larger the gamma, brighter the color.	The default gamma is 1.0.

       -dpi f
	     This option specifies the screen resolution on which the user interface is designed.  By giving a smaller or larger dpi  number  than
	     that of the screen, the output is in effect being enlarged or shrunk. This flag does not affect text size. The default DPI is 85.	If
	     the .fd file is specified in device independent unit, this flag does not have effect.

       -rgb file
	     This  option  specifies  the  path  to  the  X  color  database  (rgb.txt)  for  use  in  parsing	XPM  colornames.  The  default	is
	     /usr/lib/X11/rgb.txt. Environment variable RGBFile can be used to change the default.

       -paper name
	     This option specifies the paper name, such as A4, Letter etc.  The output PostScript will always center on the page.  Use name all to
	     get a list of the known paper names and sizes.  The default is US Letter unless environment variable PAPER is set to one of the known
	     paper names.

       -pw f Specifies the paper width, in inches.

       -ph f Specifies the paper height, in inches.

       -verbose
	     This option specifies verbose output, i.e., comments in the output PostScript file. Most useful for debugging the fd2ps program.

       Not all objects are currently supported.

NAME

       psresize - rescale and centre the pages of a PostScript file

SYNOPSIS

       psresize [ -wwidth ] [ -hheight ] [ -ppaper ] [ -Wwidth ] [ -Hheight ] [ -Ppaper ] [ -q ] [ infile [ outfile ] ]

DESCRIPTION

       Psresize  rescales  and centres a document on a different size of paper.  The input PostScript file should follow the Adobe Document Struc-
       turing Conventions.

       The -w option gives the output paper width, and the -h option gives the output paper height, normally specified in  cm  or  in  to  convert
       PostScript's  points (1/72 of an inch) to centimeters or inches.  The -p option can be used as an alternative, to set the output paper size
       to a3, a4, a5, b5, letter, legal, tabloid, statement, executive, folio, quarto, 10x24 or _glibc, where latter one means the format  of  the
       current locale. The default output paper size is _glibc.

       The -W option gives the input paper width, and the -H option gives the input paper height.  The -P option can be used as an alternative, to
       set the input paper size.  The default input paper size is _glibc.

       Psresize normally prints the page numbers of the pages output; the -q option suppresses this.

EXAMPLES

       The following command can be used to convert a document on A4 size paper to letter size paper:

       psresize -PA4 -pletter in.ps out.ps

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       LC_ALL, LC_PAPER
	      These variables are specifying the papertype when used paper is _glibc.  For details see the locale(7) manpage.
