F2PS(1) UNIX System V (29 March 1988) F2PS(1)
NAME
f2ps - Fig to Postscript translator
SYNOPSIS
f2ps [ -f font ] [ -s size ] [ -e scale ] [ ][ -L ][ -P ][
-N ][ -c ] [ input_file [ output_file ] ]
DESCRIPTION
F2ps translates xfig output format (in input_file into the
postscript language (in output_file ). The default
input_file and output_file are standard input and standard
output.
The font should be font that your printer knows about. The
unit of size (font size) is point. There are 72 points in
an inch. The upper limit for size is 300 points (about 4
inches). Scale will also be applied to size. The default
value of font, size and scale are Times-Roman, 12 points and
1 respectively.
OPTIONS
-c Center the figure on the page. The centering may not
be accurate if there are texts in the input_file that
extends too far to the right of other objects.
-L Print in landscape mode. This is the default.
-P Print in portrait mode.
-N No page printing command (showpage) is to be appended
after the figure. This ensures that when the output is
used as an included illustration, it won't untimely
skip the rest of the page. However you can not print
it by itself on the printer.
Objects (except text) which are created in xfig while the
dash-line mode was on will be produced with dashed line even
though they may be drawn with solid line in xfig.
