DESCRIPTION

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

OPTIONS

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 N1N2.
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).
