The main program of impose+ +is impose which is used for two-up printing of DSC complient postscript. +This includes postscript from e.g. netscape, dvips, and FrameMaker. It +makes an effort to remove white space from the printout by probing the +original postscript for the bounding box of the printed area. This makes +the output much more esthetic than does a simplistic layout of non-cropped +original papers. +<p> +impose may also be used as a print filter, e.g. for automatically +printing two-up files from netscape. +<p> +The utilities are all written in perl and are released under the GNU +public licence as described in the file COPYING. They depend on the +installation of the psutils package by Angus J.C. Duggan. + +<h2>Example</h2> +The following example shows the same pages treated by both psnup +and by impose. +<p> +<center> +<table border> + <tr><td align=center><img src="psnup-ex.png"> + <td align=center><img src="impose-ex.png"> + <tr><th>psnup -2 + <th>impose +</table> +</center> +<p> +The left image is the simplistic tiling done by "psnup -2" +where the whole page has been tiled. On the right is the postscript +output of impose. As can be seen, a postscript file created by impose +has more text and less white space on it. + +<h2>Contents</h2> + +Here is some additional descriptions of the different scripts in the +program. +<p> +<dl> + +<dt>impose <dd> - A preprocessor to pstops by Angus J.C.

It uses bboxx to extract the bounding box + of the original postscript file and creates the 2-up copy, + considering only the text body and the margin parameters + entered by the user. + +<dt>bboxx<dd> - Extract the bounding box of a postscript file, with the + option of entering the bounding box into the file. + +<dt>fixtd<dd> - Set tumble and duplex options for the printout. + +<dt>psbl<dd> - A preprocessor to impose and psbl for creating + booklets. + +</dl> +<hr> +Please send your questions and comments to: <a href="mailto:dov@imagic.weizmann.ac.il">dov@imagic.weizmann.ac.il</a> + </BODY> +</HTML>
