NAME

6       psplit - a tool for splitting PostScript files with multiple frames
7       into individual PostScript files, or simply determining the number of
8       pages in a file.

SYNOPSIS

11       usage: psplit [-c] input_file [output_file_root]
12

DESCRIPTION

14       "psplit" takes a PostScript file as input (that may have multiple
15       pictures) and splits it into individual PostScript files having a
16       single frame each.  If the original file has a %%BoundingBox comment in
17       it, then that comment will be inserted into each output file and the
18       output files will be EPS (encapsulated PostScript) conforming.  If the
19       original file does not have a %%BoundingBox comment, then the output
20       files will not have one either.  In that case, if you want the output
21       files to be EPS files, use the "ps2epsi" utility that is based on
22       GhostScript.  If the -c option is present, then only the number of
23       pages in input_file is reported.
24
25       "psplit" is primarily intended to be used with PostScript files that
26       have been produced directly by NCAR Graphics, or produced from NCAR
27       Graphics by running "ctrans" with a PostScript graphcap.  However,
28       "psplit" will also work on most PostScript files adhering to PostScript
29       Document Structuring Conventions (DSC).
30
31       By default the output files are named in sequence as "pict0001.ps",
32       "pict0002.ps", and so forth.  If you want to specify a different root
33       name for the output files (i.e. a name different from "pict"), you can
34       specify that by entering the optional second argument.
