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
		  center 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  miss-
		  ing 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.
