POSTGIF(1)

NAME
postgif - PostScript translator for GIF files

SYNOPSIS
postgif [ options []] [ files []]

DESCRIPTION
postgif translates Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) files 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. The following options are understood:

[-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 pixmaps.

    [-g]
Generate picture in gray instead of color

    [-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.

    [-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.

    [-L file]
Use file as the PostScript prologue.
    The default is /pbulk/work/textproc/DWB/work/.destdir/usr/pkg/DWB/lib/postscript/postgif.ps(.)

Two options allow insertion of arbitrary PostScript at controlled points in the translation process:

[-C file]
Copy
    file to the output file; file must contain legitimate PostScript.

    [-P string]
Include
    string in the output file; string must be legitimate PostScript.

Only one pixmap is printed on each logical page, and each of the input files must contain complete descriptions of at least one pixmap.

DIAGNOSTICS
A 0 exit status is returned if files were successfully processed.
