FD2PS(1L)                        Forms Library                       FD2PS(1L)


NAME

       fd2ps -  Translates fdesign output to PostScript


SYNOPSIS

       fd2ps [-options] input.[fd] [output]


DESCRIPTION

       The program fd2ps translates the fd file produced by the interface
       builder program fdesign of the Forms Library into PostScript (ps), or
       optionally Encapsulated PostScript (eps) for printing or inclusion into
       other documents. The input file can be given with or without the .fd
       extension.  If output file name is not specified, used is a filename
       derived from the input file name by replacing the .fd extension with ps
       or eps. If output filename is specified as -, stdout is used.


OPTIONS

       fd2ps accepts the following command line options

       -help Prints a brief summary of all command line options.

       -version
             Prints the current version of fd2ps and exits.

       -p    The option requests portrait orientation.  By default, the
             orientation is switched to landscape if portrait will not fit the
             page. This option overrides the default.

       -l    This options requests landscape output.

       -bw n Specifies the border width of the interface. By default this
             information is obtained from the .fd file.

       -eps  This option requests Encapsulated PostScript instead of the plain
             PostScript output.

       -gray This options requests all colors be converted to gray levels. By
             default, fd2ps outputs colors as specified in the .fd file.

       -G f  specifies a gamma factor that will be used to adjust the builtin
             colors in a non-linear fashion.  It can be thought as a way to
             brighten or dim the builtin colors: larger the gamma, brighter
             the color.  The default gamma is 1.0.

       -dpi f
             This option specifies the screen resolution on which the user
             interface is designed.  By giving a smaller or larger dpi number
             than that of the screen, the output is in effect being enlarged
             or shrunk. This flag does not affect text size. The default DPI
             is 85.  If the .fd file is specified in device independent unit,
             this flag does not have effect.

       -rgb file
             This option specifies the path to the X color database (rgb.txt)
             for use in parsing XPM colornames. The default is
             /usr/lib/X11/rgb.txt. Environment variable RGBFile can be used to
             change the default.

       -paper name
             This option specifies the paper name, such as A4, Letter etc.
             The output PostScript will always center on the page.  Use name
             all to get a list of the known paper names and sizes.  The
             default is US Letter unless environment variable PAPER is set to
             one of the known paper names.

       -pw f Specifies the paper width, in inches.

       -ph f Specifies the paper height, in inches.

       -verbose
             This option specifies verbose output, i.e., comments in the
             output PostScript file. Most useful for debugging the fd2ps
             program.
