Pbmtolps User Manual(1) General Commands Manual Pbmtolps User Manual(1) NAME pbmtolps - convert PBM image to PostScript SYNOPSIS pbmtolps [-dpi=n] [pbmfile] Minimum unique abbreviation of option is acceptable. You may use dou- ble hyphens instead of single hyphen to denote options. You may use white space in place of the equals sign to separate an option name from its value. DESCRIPTION This program is part of Netpbm(1). pbmtolps reads a PBM image as input and outputs PostScript. The output Postscript uses lines instead of the image operator to generate a (de- vice dependent) picture which will be imaged much faster. pnmtops is a more general program for converting from the Netpbm for- mats to Postscript, though it cannot produce the particular arcane sub- format that pbmtolps does. One pixel of the input image corresponds to one printed pixel ('dot'). For this to work, you must use a -dpi option to tell pmtolps the reso- lution of the target printer, in dots per inch. The Postscript program pbmtolps generates draws paths of less than 1000 segments so as not to overrun limits on the Apple Laserwriter and pos- sibly other printers. OPTIONS In addition to the options common to all programs based on libnetpbm (most notably -quiet, see Common Options ⟨index.html#commonoptions⟩ ), pbmtolps recognizes the following command line option: -dpi=n The resolution of the target printer, in dots per inch.
