Reads a portable anymap as input. Produces Encapsulated
PostScript as output.
If the input file is in color (PPM), ppppnnnnmmmmttttooooppppssss generates a
color PostScript file. Some PostScript interpreters can't
handle color PostScript. If you have one of these you will
need to run your image through ppppppppmmmmttttooooppppggggmmmm first.
OOOOPPPPTTTTIIIIOOOONNNNSSSS
The ----ssssccccaaaalllleeee option controls the scale of the result. The
default scale is 1, which on a 300 dpi printer such as the
Apple LaserWriter makes the output look about the same size
as the input would if it was displayed on a typical 72 dpi
screen. To get one PNM pixel per 300 dpi printer pixel, use
"-scale 0.25".
The ----ddddppppiiii option lets you specify the dots per inch of your
output device. The default is 300 dpi. In theory
PostScript is device-independent and you don't have to worry
about this, but in practice its raster rendering can have
unsightly bands if the device pixels and the image pixels
aren't in sync.
The ----wwwwiiiiddddtttthhhh and ----hhhheeeeiiiigggghhhhtttt options let you specify the size of
the page. The default is 8.5 inches by 11 inches.
The ----ttttuuuurrrrnnnn and ----nnnnoooottttuuuurrrrnnnn options control whether the image gets
turned 90 degrees. Normally, if an image is wider than it
is tall, it gets turned automatically to better fit the
page. If you specify the ----ttttuuuurrrrnnnn option, ppppnnnnmmmmttttooooppppssss turns the
image no matter what its shape; If you specify ----nnnnoooottttuuuurrrrnnnn,
ppppnnnnmmmmttttooooppppssss does _n_o_t turn it no matter what its shape.
The ----rrrrlllleeee or ----rrrruuuunnnnlllleeeennnnggggtttthhhh option specifies run-length
compression. This may save time if the host-to-printer link
is slow; but normally the printer's processing time
dominates, so ----rrrrlllleeee makes things slower.
By default, ppppnnnnmmmmttttooooppppssss centers the image on the output page.
You can specify this explicitly with the ----cccceeeennnntttteeeerrrr option, or
cause ppppnnnnmmmmttttooooppppssss to instead put the image against the upper
left corner of the page with the ----nnnnoooocccceeeennnntttteeeerrrr option. The
latter is useful for programs which can include PostScript
files, but can't cope with pictures which are not positioned

in the upper left corner.
All options can be abbreviated to their shortest unique
prefix.
