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       In addition to the options common to all programs  based  on  libnetpbm
38       (most notably -quiet, see
39        Common  Options ⟨index.html#commonoptions⟩ ), pbmtoepsi recognizes the
40       following command line options:
41
42
43
44       -dpi=N[xN]
45
46              This option specifies the resolution in dots per inch of the
47                   ultimate output device.  You must specify this because the
48                   Bounding Box statement defines the bounding box in absolute
49                   distances, not in pixels.  pbmtoepsi assumes in
50                   calculating the bounding  box  that  each  PBM  pixel  will
51              become one
52                   dot on the output device, and applies your dpi
53                   specification  to  calculate  the  size and location on the
54              page of
55                   the bounding box.
56
57              If you specify NxN, the first number is the
58                   horizontal resolution and the second number is the vertical
59                   resolution.  If you specify just a single number N, that is
60              the
61                   resolution in both directions.
62
63              The default is 72 dots per inch in both directions.
64
65              This option was new In Netpbm 10.3 (June 2002).  Before that,
66                   pbmtoepsi  always  assumed  72 dots per inch in both direc‐
67              tions.
