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.
