NAME
gprint - print gremlin files
SYNOPSIS
gprint [options] [filename ...]
DESCRIPTION
Gprint is a hard copy program for printing gremlin files on the Varian or Versatec plotters. If no filename(s) is specified, the standard input is taken. The options allow scaling and selection of fonts and brushes.
The options available are:
-W
Direct output to the wide (versatec) output device.
-V
Direct output to the varian (default).
-x scale
Scale picture by scale in x and y directions. The scaling takes place
fromt the lower left corner of the picture.
-R font
Define Roman font to be font. The font name should correspond to the
font file name from /usr/lib/vfont without the size indication and its
preceding dot. Default is "R".
-I font
Define Italic font to be font. Default is "I".
-B font
Define Bold font to be font. Default is "B".
-S font
Define Special font to be font. Default is "S".
-1 size
Define font size 1 to be size. Size is the point size from the vfonts
and care must be taken to assure that the fonts which use it are available
in this size. As an example, if the user desires to print using the Old
English font in 14 point size (/usr/lib/vfont/oldenglish.14), the R font
could be defined as "oldenglish" and size 1 as "14"
(note no '.'). Default for size 1 is "10".
-2 size
Define font size 2 to be size. Default is "16".
-3 size
Define font size 3 to be size. Default is "24".
-4 size
Define font size 4 to be size. Default is "36".
-N size
Define narrow brush size to be size. The default narrow line thickness
is 1 pixel. This is used for the narrow solid line and the broken lines. For
best results, an odd number of pixels of thickness is recommended.
-M size
Define medium line size to be size pixels. Default is 5.
-T size
Define thick line size to be size pixels. Default is 9.
-t
Write the raster file to the standard output instead of to the printer. The
raster can later be printed using the 'gdump' command.
-p
Prompt for fonts and sizes. Since there would be a large number of options
specified if the user wished to reassign all of the fonts and sizes, this
option will cause gprint to prompt for each font and size individually. If
nothing is specified to a given prompt (<cr>) the parameter remains
unchanged.
