NAME

     mgp2ps — generate PostScript file from MagicPoint file

SYNOPSIS

     mgp2ps [-cirtV] [-f psfile] [-p papersize] [-x xmargin] [-y ymargin] mgpfile

DESCRIPTION

     mgp2ps is a converter from MagicPoint file mgpfile to PostScript file.  If -f option is
     specified, PostScript will be generated to psfile.  Otherwise, printed to the standard
     output.

     If there exists foo.eps corresponding to foo.gif (or whatever), the encapsulated PostScript
     file will be included to the PostScript file instead.

     The following options are available:

     -c      Generate color PostScript file (experimental).  By default mgp2ps will generate
             monochrome postscript file.

     -i      Paint inside icon symbols.

     -r      Stack the paper in reverse order.

     -V      Be verbose.

     -f psfile
             Pathname to put the PostScript output.

     -p papersize
             papersize specifies the size of the paper to be used.  a3, a4, a5, b5, A3, A4, A5,
             B5, letter, legal, ledger, tabloid, statement, executive, folio, quarto and 10x14
             are available.  Default size is a4.

     -x xmargin

     -y ymargin
             xmargin and ymargin specifies length of the margin area around the edge of the
             paper.

     -t      Use truetypefont instead of psfont (ASCII font only).

     -e      Specify encodings. At this moment, "iso-8859-1", "latin1", "iso-8859-2" "and
             latin-2" are supported as encodings.

     -m      emulate "%pause" directive.

     -X engine
             Do not use rendering engine, specified by engine.  engine can be only FreeType so
             far.

     -g level
             specify the distance level between lines. If level is 0, the result will be close to
             the result of xft2 rendering. If others, it will be close to the result of other
             rendering engines.
