Name
ps — Temporarily attaches the Postscript display manager and outputs the current MGED display to the specified output_file in PostScript format.
DESCRIPTION
Temporarily attaches the Postscript display manager and outputs the current MGED display to the specified output_file in PostScript format. The -f option allows the font to be user- specified. The -t option allows the user to provide a title (the default is No Title). The -c option allows the user to specify the creator of the file (the default is LIBDM dm-ps). The s specifies the size of the drawing in inches. The l specifies the width of the lines drawn.
EXAMPLES
The first example shows the use of the ps command to place a PostScript version of the current MGED display in a specified file and give it a particular title. The second example is much like the first except that a line width is specified and the title and output file names are different.
Example 1. Place a PostScript version of the current MGED display in a specified file.
mged>ps -t "Test Title" test.ps
Places a PostScript version of the current MGED display in a file named test.ps and titles it Test Title.
Example 2. Specify the line width of a PostScript version of the current MGED display in a specified file.
mged>ps -l 10 -t "Test Fat Lines" fat_lines.ps
Places a PostScript version of the current MGED display with fat lines in a file named fat_lines.ps and titles it Test Fat Lines.
