NAME

6       pbmtoepsi  -  convert  a  PBM image to an encapsulated PostScript style
7       preview bitmap

SYNOPSIS

11       pbmtoepsi [-dpi=N[xN]] [-bbonly] [pbmfile]
12
13       All options can be abbreviated to their shortest  unique  prefix.   You
14       may  use  two  hyphens instead of one.  You may separate an option name
15       and its value with white space instead of an equals sign.

DESCRIPTION

19       This program is part of Netpbm(1).
20
21       Reads a PBM image as input.  Produces an encapsulated Postscript  style
22       bitmap  as output.  The output is not a stand alone postscript file, it
23       is only a preview bitmap, which can  be  included  in  an  encapsulated
24       PostScript file.
25
26       pbmtoepsi assumes the PBM input describes a whole output page, with one
27       pixel on the page corresponding to one PBM  pixel.   It  detects  white
28       borders  in  the  image and generates Postscript output that contains a
29       Bounding Box statement to describe the location of the principal  image
30       (the  image  excluding the white borders) on the page and thus does not
31       include the borders in the raster part of the Postscript output.
32
33       There is no epsitopbm tool - this transformation is one way.

OPTIONS

37       -dpi=N[xN]
38
39              This option specifies the resolution in dots per inch of the
40                   ultimate output device.  You must specify this because the
41                   Bounding Box statement defines the bounding box in absolute
42                   distances, not in pixels.  pbmtoepsi assumes in
43                   calculating the bounding  box  that  each  PBM  pixel  will
44              become one
45                   dot on the output device, and applies your dpi
46                   specification  to  calculate  the  size and location on the
47              page of
48                   the bounding box.
49
50              If you specify NxN, the first number is the
51                   horizontal resolution and the second number is the vertical
52                   resolution.  If you specify just a single number N, that is
53              the
54                   resolution in both directions.
55
56              The default is 72 dots per inch in both directions.
57
58              This option was new In Netpbm 10.3 (June 2002).  Before that,
59                   pbmtoepsi  always  assumed  72 dots per inch in both direc‐
60              tions.
