Name
       xlator_call - shell script to invoke PostScript translators

Syntax
       xlator_call datatype orientation pagesize width length indent

Description
       This  Bourne  shell script can be called by the line printer daemon to invoke the appropriate translator to convert each data type to Post-
       Script.	The data type passed by may be specified by using the command with the -Ddatatype option, or by using the  Da=datatype	capability
       in the file.

       For a file in a data syntax to be translated to PostScript, the script must contain a case branch which recognizes the data type string and
       calls a suitable filter.  The supplied recognizes the ANSI, ASCII, ReGIS and Tektronix 4014 data types.

Arguments
       datatype
       The valid data types are: or any other for which a translator has been installed.

       orientation
       The valid orientations are: portrait or landscape.

       pagesize

       width
       The width (in characters) of the page.

       length

       indent
       The amount (in spaces) the output is to be indented.

       All the valid arguments are described in detail by the reference page.

Examples
       An example shell script is shown below:
       case $datatype in
       ansi)
	    exec ansi_ps -F $pagesize -O $orientation -e "$@";;
       ascii)
	    echo "(04) cvn {} def"
	    exec ln03rof -w$width -l$length -i$indent;;
       postscript)
	    exec cat;;
       tek4014)
	    exec tek4014_ps -F $pagesize -O $orientation;;
       regis)
	    exec regis_ps -F $pagesize -O $orientation;;
       *)
	    echo "$0: Translator for data type $datatype not installed" >&2
       esac
