NAME

6       psmegaplot - To create poster-size PostScript plots from page-size plot
7

SYNOPSIS

9       psmegaplot plotfile -Sscale [ -C ]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       psmegaplot reads a GMT-produced PostScript file and 'blows it up' by an
13       arbitrary scale. The result is several plots that make up the pieces in
14       a jigsaw puzzle. Cut and paste these pieces to make a 'megaplot'.
15
16
17       plotfile
18              PostScript file as created by the GMT programs.
19
20       -S     Multiply  the x- and y-dimension by scale.  scale must be larger
21              than 1.0.
22

OPTIONS

24       No space between the option flag and the associated arguments.
25
26       -C     Plot crop marks in each corner of every output page. [Default is
27              no marks]
28

EXAMPLES

30       To  magnify  a contour-map PostScript file 3 times, giving a total of 9
31       output pages to be pasted together, use
32
33       psmegaplot hawaii_contour.ps -S3 -C > hawaii_contour_megaplot.ps
34

BUGS

36       This program is unlikely to work on non-GMT-produced  PostScript  files
37       since  it  anticipates the structure of the file.  It also assumes that
38       the output media is Letter size.
