gxeps(1)                GrADS  V1.6.beta4                gxeps(1)

NAME
     gxeps - translate GrADS metacode format to PostScript format

SYNOPSIS
     gxeps [ -acdilrsv -i <infile> -o <outfile> ] [<infile>] ]

DESCRIPTION
     gxeps convert the GrADS metacode format file to a PostScript
     file.

     Without any given option, gxeps  converts  per  default  the
     GrADS  metacode  format  file  to a greyscale on white back-
     ground PostScript file. The  default  GrADS  rainbow  colors
     (color  numbers 2 to 14) are translated into pleasing greys-
     cale values. User defined rainbow colors (numbers above  15)
     are  translated  to greyscale intensity based on their green
     content only.

OPTIONS
     -i fname       input GrADS metacode format file name fname.

     -o fname       output PostScript file name fname.

     -c             print color on  a  white  background  (=  old
                    gxpscw).

     -r             print greyscale on a black background.

     -d             add a CTRL-D to the end of the file,   useful
                    if printing on a HP 1200C/PS color printer.

     -1             use PostScript Level 1.

     -2             use PostScript Level 2.

     -a             Page size DIN A4.

     -l             Page size US-Letter.

     -L             Ask for a label to be printed on the plot.

     -n             Ask for a note to include in PostScript  file
                    header.

     -s             Add a file and time stamp on the plot.
