postdmd translates DMD
bitmap files, as produced by dmdps,
or files written in the Ninth Edition bitfile(9.5) format into PostScript
and writes the results on the standard output. If no files are specified,
or if - is one of the input files, the standard input is read.
- -b num
- Pack the bitmap in the output file using num byte patterns. A value of
0 turns off all packing of the output file. By default, num is 6.
- -c num
- Print num copies of each page. By default only one copy is printed.
- -f
- Flip
the sense of the bits in files before printing the bitmaps.
- -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. The page range is an expression
of logical pages rather than physical sheets of paper. For example, if you
are printing two logical pages to a sheet, and you specified a range of
4, then two sheets of paper would print, containing four page layouts. If
you specified a page range of 3-4, when requesting two logical pages to
a sheet; then only page 3 and page 4 layouts would print, and they would
appear on one physical sheet of paper.
- -p mode
- Print files in either portrait
or landscape mode. Only the first character of mode is significant. The default
mode is portrait.
- -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 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.
Only one bitmap is printed on each
logical page, and each of the input files must contain complete descriptions
of at least one bitmap. Decreasing the pattern size using the -b option may
help throughput on printers with fast processors (such as PS-810
s), while
increasing the pattern size will often be the right move on older models
(such as PS-800
s).
