pix-ps — convert a color pix file to PostScript
pix-ps [-e ] [-c|-l ] [-L ] [-s input_squaresize] [-w input_width] [-n input_height] [-S inches_square] [-W inches_width] [-N inches_height] [infile.pix] > outfile.ps
pix-ps
will take a color
pix(5)
format file of given dimensions and produce a Postscript file
on the standard output.
The
-w
and
-n
flags specify the input file width and number of scan lines in pixels.
They can both be set to the same value via
-s.
If no input size is given, defaults of 512 are assumed.
By default the output PostScript image size is 6.75 inches.
The
-c
option (on by default) will center it on a 8.5 x 11 inch page; otherwise, the
-l
option uses the lower left corner.
If a different output size is desired,
-S,
-W,
and
-N
can be used to set the size in inches analogous to the input
parameters.
Finally,
-L
selects landscape mode, i.e. rotates the output image by ninety degrees.
Encapsulated PostScript files can be generated via
-e.
pix-ps -c image.pix > image.ps
Produces a 6.75 inch PostScript file from a 512x512 input image and centers it on an 8.5 x 11 inch page.
pix-ps -e -w 1024 -n 768 image.pix > image.ps
Takes the file image.pix which has the dimensions of 1024 pixels wide by 768 pixels high, and produces an Encapsulated Postscript version of it.
pix-ps -L -c -S 5.2 < image.pix > image.ps
Makes a PostScript file of the (assumed 512x512) image, with the output image 5.2 inches square, in landscape mode, centered on an 8.5 x 11 inch page.
