The postplot filter translates plot(1B)
graphics filenames into PostScript and writes the results on the standard output. If no filenames are specified, or if - is
one of the input filenames, the standard input is read.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-c num
Print num copies of each page. By default,
only one copy is printed.
-f name
Print text using font name. Any PostScript font can be used, although the best results
will be obtained only with constant width fonts. The default font is Courier.
-m num
Magnify each logical page by the factor num. Pages are scaled uniformly about the origin
which, by default, is located at the center of each page. The default magnification is 1.0.
-n num
Print num logical pages on each piece of paper, where num
can be any positive integer. By default, num is set to 1.
-o list
Print pages whose numbers are given in the comma-separated list. The list contains
single numbers N and ranges N1 - N2. A missing N1 means the lowest numbered page, a missing N2 means the highest.
-p mode
Print filenames in either portrait or landscape mode. Only
the first character of mode is significant. The default mode is landscape.
-w num
Set the line width used for graphics to num points, where a point is approximately
1/72 of an inch. By default, num is set to 0 points, which forces lines to be one pixel wide.
-x num
Translate the origin num inches along the positive x axis. The default coordinate system
has the origin fixed at the center of the page, with positive x to the right and positive y up the page. Positive num moves everything right. The default offset is 0.0 inches.
-y num
Translate the origin num inches along the positive y axis. Positive num moves everything up the page. The default offset is 0.0.
OPERANDS
The following operand is supported:
filename
The graphics filename to be translated
