postplot(1) User Commands postplot(1)NAMEpostplot - PostScript translator for plot(4B) graphics files
SYNOPSISpostplot [-c num] [-f name] [-m num] [-n num] [-o list]
[-p mode] [-w num] [-x num] [-y num] [filename]...
/usr/lib/lp/postscript/postplot
DESCRIPTION
The postplot filter translates graphics filenames into PostScript and
writes the results on the standard output. If no filenames are speci‐
fied, 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 con‐
stant 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 magnifica‐
tion 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 posi‐
tive 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 off‐
set is 0.0.
OPERANDS
The following operand is supported:
filename The graphics filename to be translated
EXIT STATUS
The following exit value is returned:
0 filename(s) were successfully processed.

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