NAME

postscript - Temporarily attaches the Postscript display manager and outputs the current MGED display to the specified output_file in PostScript format.

SYNOPSIS

postscript [-f font] [-t title] [-c creator] [-s size_in_inches] [-l line_width] {output_file}

DESCRIPTION

Temporarily attaches the Postscript display manager and outputs the current MGED display to the specified output_file in PostScript format. The -f option allows the font to be user- specified. The -t option allows the user to provide a title (the default is �No Title�). The -c option allows the user to specify the creator of the file (the default is �LIBDM dm-ps�). The �s specifies the size of the drawing in inches. The �l specifies the width of the lines drawn.

EXAMPLES

The first example shows the use of the postscript command to place a PostScript version of the current MGED display in a specified file and give it a particular title. The second example is much like the first except that a line width is specified and the title and output file names are different.

Example 1. Place a PostScript version of the current MGED display in a specified file.

mged>postscript -t "Test Title" test.ps

Places a PostScript version of the current MGED display in a file named test.ps and titles it �Test Title.�

Example 2. Specify the line width of a PostScript version of the current MGED display in a specified file.

mged>postscript -l 10 -t "Test Fat Lines" fat_lines.ps

Places a PostScript version of the current MGED display with fat lines in a file named fat_lines.ps and titles it �Test Fat Lines.�
