postplot(1) User Commands postplot(1)
NAME
postplot - PostScript translator for plot(4B) graphics files
SYNOPSIS
postplot [-c num] [-f name] [-m num] [-n num] [-o list] [-p mode] [-w num] [-x num] [-y num] [filename...]
/usr/lib/lp/postscript/postplot
DESCRIPTION
The postplot filter translates plot(1B) graphics filenames into PostScript and writes the results on the standard output. If no filenames
are specified, or if - is one of the input filenames, the standard input is read.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-c num Print num copies of each page. By default, only one copy is printed.
-f name Print text using font name. Any PostScript font can be used, although the best results will be obtained only with constant width
fonts. The default font is Courier.
-m num Magnify each logical page by the factor num. Pages are scaled uniformly about the origin which, by default, is located at the cen-
ter of each page. The default magnification is 1.0.
-n num Print num logical pages on each piece of paper, where num can be any positive integer. By default, num is set to 1.
-o list Print pages whose numbers are given in the comma-separated list. The list contains single numbers N and ranges N1 - N2. A missing
N1 means the lowest numbered page, a missing N2 means the highest.
-p mode Print filenames in either portrait or landscape mode. Only the first character of mode is significant. The default mode is land-
scape.
-w num Set the line width used for graphics to num points, where a point is approximately 1/72 of an inch. By default, num is set to 0
points, which forces lines to be one pixel wide.
-x num Translate the origin num inches along the positive x axis. The default coordinate system has the origin fixed at the center of the
page, with positive x to the right and positive y up the page. Positive num moves everything right. The default offset is 0.0
inches.
-y num Translate the origin num inches along the positive y axis. Positive num moves everything up the page. The default offset is 0.0.
OPERANDS
The following operand is supported:
filename The graphics filename to be translated
EXIT STATUS
The following exit value is returned:
0 filename(s) were successfully processed.
FILES
/usr/lib/lp/postscript/forms.ps
