17 postdmd translates DMD bitmap files, as produced by dmdps, or files
18 written in the Ninth Edition bitfile(9.5) format into PostScript and
19 writes the results on the standard output. If no files are specified,
20 or if − is one of the input files, the standard input is read.
21
23 -b num Pack the bitmap in the output file using num byte patterns.
24 A value of 0 turns off all packing of the output file. By
25 default, num is 6.
26
27
28 -c num Print num copies of each page. By default only one copy is
29 printed.
30
31
32 -f Flip the sense of the bits in files before printing the bit‐
33 maps.
34
35
36 -m num Magnify each logical page by the factor num. Pages are
37 scaled uniformly about the origin, which by default is
38 located at the center of each page. The default magnifica‐
39 tion is 1.0.
40
41
42 -n num Print num logical pages on each piece of paper, where num
43 can be any positive integer. By default num is set to 1.
44
45
46 -o list Print pages whose numbers are given in the comma-separated
47 list. The list contains single numbers N and ranges N1 − N2.
48 A missing N1 means the lowest numbered page, a missing N2
49 means the highest. The page range is an expression of logi‐
50 cal pages rather than physical sheets of paper. For example,
51 if you are printing two logical pages to a sheet, and you
52 specified a range of 4, then two sheets of paper would
53 print, containing four page layouts. If you specified a page
54 range of 3-4, when requesting two logical pages to a sheet;
55 then only page 3 and page 4 layouts would print, and they
56 would appear on one physical sheet of paper.
57
58
59 -p mode Print files in either portrait or landscape mode. Only the
60 first character of mode is significant. The default mode is
61 portrait.
62
63
64 -x num Translate the origin num inches along the positive x axis.
65 The default coordinate system has the origin fixed at the
66 center of the page, with positive x to the right and posi‐
67 tive y up the page. Positive num moves everything right. The
68 default offset is 0 inches.
69
70
71 -y num Translate the origin num inches along the positive y axis.
72 Positive num moves everything up the page. The default off‐
73 set is 0.
74
75
76
77 Only one bitmap is printed on each logical page, and each of the input
78 files must contain complete descriptions of at least one bitmap.
79 Decreasing the pattern size using the -b option may help throughput on
80 printers with fast processors (such as PS-810s), while increasing the
81 pattern size will often be the right move on older models (such as
82 PS-800s).
