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

NAME
     gxps - translate GrADS metacode format to PostScript format

SYNOPSIS
     gxps [ -crd -i <infile> -o <outfile> ] ]

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

     Without any given option,  gxps  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.

EXAMPLES
     Example 1:     example%  gxps -rc -i mytest.mf -o mytest.ps

                    convert GrADS metacode format file  mytest.mf
                    to  color on black background PostScript file
                    mytest.ps (= old gxpsc).
