IMAGE commands
PROGRAM NAME
ipostscr - Convert Image to Postscript
DESCRIPTION
ipostscr formats an image for output on a Postscript printer. The
width and height are specified in inches. The X and Y offset
specifies the location of the lower left corner of the image from the
lower left corner of the page.
ipostscr will generate either a binary, grayscale, truecolor image
from the input object. If the data set contains a map, then the first
three columns (assuming that there are at least three) will be
interpreted a the red, green, and blue components and will be used to
construct a truecolor postscript image by mapping the value data
through the map. If a map exists, but it does not have three or more
columns, then the existing columns will be padded out to three columns
with 0's.
If the data set does not contain a map, then if its data type is KBIT,
it will generate a bitmapped black and white postscript. Otherwise,
the data set will be cast to unsigned byte and a grayscale image will
be generated.
This program can be used to generate either Postscript or Encapsulated
Postscript images in either Landscape or Portrait mode. The -eps flag
is used to specify that encapsulated postscript should be output.
If you only specify the width, or the height, the other dimension will
be calculated, so that you will get a postscript image which reflects
the true dimensions of the image.
