The HP-GL commands are a subset of the +Roland plotter command set (RD-GL). +.PP +The default conditions for \fBhpgl2ps\fR are: +.TP +.B 1. +The plot translation is from ISO A3 (420mm x 297mm) to ISO A4 +(297mm x 210mm) on the LaserWriter. +.TP +.B 2. +Line thicknesses are in millimeters and are for lines (pens) 1 to 9: +( 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.7, 1.0, 1.25, 1.5 ) +.TP +.B Note: +If the plotfile is not specified then standard input is assumed. +.SH ARGUMENTS +.TP +.B -a +Draw on an A4 ISO (297mm x 210mm) sheet of paper. This will give an +aproximate 1:1 translation to the LaserWriter. +.TP +\fB-l \fIline sizes\fR +This option allows the default line sizes to be replaced with different +sizes starting from line (pen) one through nine. The new sizes (real or +integer) are entered in a comma seperated string (\fIline size\fR) and +are in millimeters. Only the sizes entered in the string will be +changed with respect to lines (pens) one to nine while nonentered line +(pen) sizes will retain the default sizes. +.sp +In the following example only the first three sizes will be changed. +.sp +eg: hpgl2ps -l 0.4,0.3,1 file | lpr -Plaser1 +.TP +.B -m +Enable the manual feed on the LaserWriter (cutoff time 3 minutes). +.TP +.B -r +Rotate plot(s) through 90 degrees. (The plot is made smaller) +.TP +\fB-s\fI scale\fR Scale the plot from 0.1 to 3 times its original +size. +.TP +\fB-x\fI offset\fR Place an X offset (in mm) in the plot. +.TP +\fB-y\fI offset\fR Place an Y offset (in mm) in the plot. +.PP +\fBNote:\fR Offsets are with respect to the 0, 0 (origin) of the HP-GL +/ RD-GL plotting commands, thus if the minimum plotting coordinates are +below either the X and/or Y zero axis then a positive offset is +applied. Similarly if the minimum plot coordinates are above the X +and/or Y zero axis then a negative offset is applied. +.SH FILES +/usr/local/bin/hpgl2ps +.SH AUTHOR +Don McCormick +.br +CSIRO +.br +Division of Applied Physics +.br +PO 218, Lindfield, N.S.W., 2070 +.br +Australia +.SH BUGS +Some of the graphics commands are unimplemented and a warning will be +displayed.
