NAME

6       fd2ps -  Translates fdesign output to PostScript

SYNOPSIS

9       fd2ps [-options] input.[fd] [output]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       The  program  fd2ps  translates  the  fd file produced by the interface
13       builder program fdesign of the Forms Library into PostScript  (ps),  or
14       optionally Encapsulated PostScript (eps) for printing or inclusion into
15       other documents. The input file can be given with or  without  the  .fd
16       extension.   If  output  file name is not specified, used is a filename
17       derived from the input file name by replacing the .fd extension with ps
18       or eps. If output filename is specified as -, stdout is used.

OPTIONS

22       fd2ps accepts the following command line options
23
24       -help Prints a brief summary of all command line options.
25
26       -version
27             Prints the current version of fd2ps and exits.
28
29       -p    The option requests portrait orientation.  By default, the orien‐
30             tation is switched to landscape if  portrait  will  not  fit  the
31             page. This option overrides the default.
32
33       -l    This options requests landscape output.
34
35       -bw n Specifies  the  border  width  of  the interface. By default this
36             information is obtained from the .fd file.
37
38       -eps  This option requests Encapsulated PostScript instead of the plain
39             PostScript output.
40
41       -gray This  options requests all colors be converted to gray levels. By
42             default, fd2ps outputs colors as specified in the .fd file.
43
44       -G f  specifies a gamma factor that will be used to adjust the  builtin
45             colors  in  a  non-linear fashion.  It can be thought as a way to
46             brighten or dim the builtin colors: larger  the  gamma,  brighter
47             the color.  The default gamma is 1.0.
48
49       -dpi f
50             This  option  specifies  the  screen resolution on which the user
51             interface is designed.  By giving a smaller or larger dpi  number
52             than  that  of the screen, the output is in effect being enlarged
53             or shrunk. This flag does not affect text size. The  default  DPI
54             is  85.  If the .fd file is specified in device independent unit,
55             this flag does not have effect.
56
57       -rgb file
58             This option specifies the path to the X color database  (rgb.txt)
59             for   use   in   parsing   XPM   colornames.   The   default   is
60             /usr/lib/X11/rgb.txt. Environment variable RGBFile can be used to
61             change the default.
62
63       -paper name
64             This  option  specifies  the  paper name, such as A4, Letter etc.
65             The output PostScript will always center on the page.   Use  name
66             all  to  get  a  list  of  the  known paper names and sizes.  The
67             default is US Letter unless environment variable PAPER is set  to
68             one of the known paper names.
69
70       -pw f Specifies the paper width, in inches.
71
72       -ph f Specifies the paper height, in inches.
73
74       -verbose
75             This  option specifies verbose output, i.e., comments in the out‐
76             put PostScript file. Most useful for debugging the fd2ps program.
