.SH NAME
\f4postplot\fP \- PostScript translator for 
\f4plot\fP(4) graphics files
.SH SYNOPSIS
\f4postplot\fP [\f2options\fP] [\f2files\fP]
.SH DESCRIPTION
The \f4postplot\fP filter
translates \f4plot\fP(4) graphics
.I files
into PostScript and writes the results on the standard output.
If no
.I files
are specified, or if \f4\-\fP is one of the input
.IR files ,
the standard input is read.
The following
.I options
are understood:
.TP 1.0i
\f4\-c \f2num\f1
Print
.I num
copies of each page.
By default, only one copy is printed.
.TP 1.0i
\f4-f \f2name\f1
Print text using font
.IR name .
Any PostScript font can be used,
although the best results will be obtained 
only with constant width fonts.
The default font is Courier.
.TP 1.0i
\f4-m \f2num\f1
Magnify each logical page by the factor
.IR num .
Pages are scaled uniformly about the origin
which, by default, is located at the center of each page.
The default magnification is 1.0.
.TP 1.0i
\f4-n \f2num\f1
Print
.I num
logical pages on each piece of paper,
where
.I num
can be any positive integer.
By default,
.I num
is set to 1.
.TP 1.0i
\f4-o \f2list\f1
Print pages whose numbers are given in the comma-separated
.IR list .
The list contains single numbers
.I N
and ranges
\f2N1 \fP\-\f2 N2\fP.
A missing
.I N1
means the lowest numbered page, a missing
.I N2
means the highest.
.TP 1.0i
\f4-p \f2mode\f1
Print
.I files
in either portrait or landscape
.I mode.
Only the first character of
.I mode
is significant.
The default
.I mode
is landscape.
.TP 1.0i
\f4-w \f2num\f1
Set the line width used for graphics to
.I num
points, where a point is approximately 1/72
of an inch.
By default,
.I num
is set to 0 points, which forces lines to be
one pixel wide.
.TP 1.0i
\f4-x \f2num\f1
Translate the origin
.I num
inches along the positive x axis.
The default
coordinate system has the origin fixed at the
center of the page, with positive
x to the right and positive y up the page.
Positive
.I num
moves everything right.
The default offset is 0.0 inches.
.TP 1.0i
\f4-y \f2num\f1
Translate the origin
.I num
inches along the positive y axis.
Positive
.I num
moves everything up the page.
The default offset is 0.0.
.SH DIAGNOSTICS
An exit status of 0 is returned if
.I files
were successfully processed.
.SH NOTES
The default line width is too small for write-white
print engines, such as the one used by the \s-1PS-2400\s+1.
