DESCRIPTION

18       xpm2ps  makes  a beautiful color plot of an XPixelMap file.  Labels and
19       axis can be displayed, when they are supplied  in  the  correct  matrix
20       format.   Matrix  data  may  be  generated by programs such as do_dssp,
21       g_rms or g_mdmat.
22
23
24       Parameters are set in the  m2p file optionally supplied with  -di. Rea‐
25       sonable defaults are provided. Settings for the y-axis default to those
26       for the x-axis. Font names have a  defaulting  hierarchy:  titlefont  -
27       legendfont;  titlefont  - (xfont - yfont - ytickfont) - xtickfont, e.g.
28       setting titlefont sets all fonts, setting xfont sets  yfont,  ytickfont
29       and xtickfont.
30
31
32       When  no   m2p  file  is supplied, many setting are set by command line
33       options. The most important option is  -size which sets the size of the
34       whole  matrix  in postscript units.  This option can be overridden with
35       the  -bx and  -by options (and the corresponding parameters in the  m2p
36       file), which set the size of a single matrix element.
37
38
39       With   -f2 a 2nd matrix file can be supplied, both matrix files will be
40       read simultaneously and the upper left half of the first one (  -f)  is
41       plotted  together  with  the lower right half of the second one ( -f2).
42       The diagonal will contain values from the  matrix  file  selected  with
43       -diag.  Plotting of the diagonal values can be suppressed altogether by
44       setting  -diag to  none.  In this case, a new color map will be  gener‐
45       ated  with a red gradient for negative numbers and a blue for positive.
46       If the color coding and legend labels of both matrices  are  identical,
47       only  one  legend will be displayed, else two separate legends are dis‐
48       played.  With  -combine an alternative operation  can  be  selected  to
49       combine  the  matrices.  The  output  range is automatically set to the
50       actual range of the combined matrix. This can be overridden with  -cmin
51       and  -cmax.
52
53
54         -title  can  be  set to  none to suppress the title, or to  ylabel to
55       show the title in the Y-label position (alongside the Y-axis).
56
57
58       With the  -rainbow option dull grey-scale matrices can be  turned  into
59       attractive color pictures.
60
61
62       Merged  or  rainbowed matrices can be written to an XPixelMap file with
63       the  -xpm option.
