NAME

6       choptest - HylaFAX page chopping test program
7

SYNOPSIS

9       /usr/sbin/choptest [ options ] input.tif
10

DESCRIPTION

12       choptest  is  a  program  for  testing the page chopping support in the
13       HylaFAX software (specifically, in  the  faxq(8C)  program).   choptest
14       analyzes  a  TIFF/F  (TIFF Class F) file with 1-D MH- or 2-D MR-encoded
15       data and reports what the automatic page chopping logic would do if the
16       file  were  submitted  for transmission.  Options are provided for con‐
17       trolling whether choptest checks the last page or all pages of the doc‐
18       ument,  and  what  whitespace  threshold  to  use in deciding if a page
19       should be chopped.
20

OPTIONS

22       -a        Chop all pages in the document.  This is equivalent  to  set‐
23                 ting  the  PageChop  configuration parameter to ``all''; c.f.
24                 hylafax-config(5F).  By default only the  last  page  of  the
25                 document is considered.
26
27       -t inches Set  the minimum whitespace threshold that must be present on
28                 a page for it to be chopped.  This is equivalent to the Page‐
29                 ChopThreshold  configuration  parameter;  c.f.   hylafax-con‐
30                 fig(5F).  By default choptest requires that at least 3 inches
31                 of trailing whitespace be present.
32

EXAMPLES

34       The  following shows a multi-page, high-resolution document.  Each page
35       has insufficient whitespace for it to be chopped.
36
37       hyla% ./choptest -a ~/tiff/pics/faxix.tif
38       Chop pages with >=3" of white space at the bottom.
39       Don't chop, found 67 rows, need 588 rows
40       Don't chop, found 67 rows, need 588 rows
41       Don't chop, found 67 rows, need 588 rows
42       Don't chop, found 53 rows, need 588 rows
43       Don't chop, found 91 rows, need 588 rows
44       Don't chop, found 99 rows, need 588 rows
45       Don't chop, found 47 rows, need 588 rows
