SYNOPSISras2ps [ -x xoffset ] [ -y yoffset ] [ -X xscale ] [ -Y yscale ] [
-w width ] [ -h height ] [ -r rotation ] [ -i ] [ -C ] [ -l ] [ -n ] [
-v ] [ -q ] [ rasterfile | - ] [ psfile ]
DESCRIPTIONras2ps converts a Sun RasterFile to a PostScript file. If both file‐
names are missing, the rasterfile is read from stdin and the PostScript
is written to stdout. If there is only one filename, then it is inter‐
preted as the rasterfile and is opened for input. To have a named out‐
put PostScript file and still read the rasterfile from stdin, use a
dash (-) in place of the input filename.
OPTIONS-x xoffset
Set the amount of space to the left of the image to be xoffset
inches. The default is a quarter inch to keep the image in the
imagable area of the printer.
-y yoffset
Set the amount of space below the image to yoffset inches. The
default is a quarter inch same as above.
-X xscale
Multiply the width of the image by xscale. This is used to
stretch or shrink an image along the X axis.
-Y yscale
Multiply the height of the image by yscale. This is used to
stretch or shrink an image along the Y axis.
-w width
Set the max width in inches.
-h height
Set the max height in inches. The -w and -h options set the
desired width and height of the output image in inches. Default
height and width are the source image dimensions at 300 dpi.
ras2ps will expand or shrink the image to fit these dimensions,
while still preserving the image scale values. The closest fit
within the boundaries will be used. Note that width and height
arguments do not stretch or shrink the image, but only set its
limits. At least one of width or height is guaranteed to be sat‐
isfied.
-r n Rotate the image by n degrees, counterclockwise. The origin of
rotation is the lower left corner of the image at the point speci‐
fied by the -x and -y options.
-i Invert the image. This will reverse black and white on a mono‐
chrome image and is of limited usefulness on color images.
-C Output 8 and 24 bit images as color PostScript using the colorim‐
age operator as supported by printers such as the QMS ColorPS 800.
-l Orient the image in landscape mode, which puts the origin at the
lower right corner of the page and rotates the image 90 degrees.
All arguments follow this new orientation. The default is Por‐
trait mode.
-n Do not include the PostScript operator 'showpage' in the output.
This is for backward compatibility with programs which do not
override 'showpage' as the EPSF spec advises.
-v Verbose mode will print information as it processes the image.
(The default is to be silent.)
-q Query (prints list of options)
