NAME

fbps - convert grayscale to postscript  

SYNOPSIS

fbps [-tT] [-pP] [ -s ] [ -w<width> ] < grayscale > foo.PS
 

DESCRIPTION

Converts an fbm format file into a postscript file for printing. The -s flag generates a file suitable for including in a postscript document (for example, Scribe or LaTex output) with no document structuring, titles, or trailing "showpage". By default, the image's title is printed in a large font centered over the image, and a small banner giving the size is printed under the lower right corner. The -T and -P arguments disable the title and print size options.

There really ought to be an option to print the credits instead of the size, but I haven't done it yet.  

EXAMPLE

To convert a Sun 8bit grayscale rasterfile to a full page postscript file:

       % fbps < foo.8bit > foo.PS

To convert a color GIF file to a 3 inch wide grayscale postscript file for inclusion in a Scribe or TeX document:

       % clr2gray < foo.gif | fbps -s -w3.0 > foo.PS

To print a 1 bit deep Sun rasterfile in postscript, use fbcat and pbm2ps:

       % fbcat -P < foo.1bit | pbm2ps > foo.PS
 

SEE ALSO

fbcat(1) and pbm2ps(1) for converting 1 bit deep files to PostScript. fbm(1) for general discussion, pbm(1) for PBM routines.  

BUGS

None known.
