DESCRIPTION

17       The  postplot  filter translates plot(1B) graphics filenames into Post‐
18       Script and writes the results on the standard output. If  no  filenames
19       are  specified,  or  if  −  is one of the input filenames, the standard
20       input is read.
21

OPTIONS

23       The following options are supported:
24
25       -c num     Print num copies of each page. By default, only one copy  is
26                  printed.
27
28
29       -f name    Print text using font name. Any PostScript font can be used,
30                  although the best results will be obtained  only  with  con‐
31                  stant width fonts. The default font is Courier.
32
33
34       -m num     Magnify  each  logical  page  by  the  factor num. Pages are
35                  scaled uniformly about the  origin  which,  by  default,  is
36                  located  at  the center of each page. The default magnifica‐
37                  tion is 1.0.
38
39
40       -n num     Print num logical pages on each piece of  paper,  where  num
41                  can be any positive integer. By default, num is set to 1.
42
43
44       -o list    Print  pages  whose numbers are given in the comma-separated
45                  list. The list contains single numbers N and ranges N1 − N2.
46                  A  missing  N1  means the lowest numbered page, a missing N2
47                  means the highest.
48
49
50       -p mode    Print filenames in either portrait or landscape  mode.  Only
51                  the first character of mode is significant. The default mode
52                  is landscape.
53
54
55       -w num     Set the line width used for graphics to num points, where  a
56                  point  is  approximately 1/72 of an inch. By default, num is
57                  set to 0 points, which forces lines to be one pixel wide.
58
59
60       -x num     Translate the origin num inches along the positive  x  axis.
61                  The  default  coordinate  system has the origin fixed at the
62                  center of the page, with positive x to the right  and  posi‐
63                  tive y up the page. Positive num moves everything right. The
64                  default offset is 0.0 inches.
65
66
67       -y num     Translate the origin num inches along the positive  y  axis.
68                  Positive  num moves everything up the page. The default off‐
69                  set is 0.0.

NOTES

117       The default line width is too small for write-white print engines, such
118       as the one used by the PS-2400.
