NAME

       pbmtolps - convert PBM image to PostScript

SYNOPSIS

       pbmtolps [-dpi=n] [pbmfile]

       Minimum  unique  abbreviation of option is acceptable.  You may use double hyphens instead
       of single hyphen to denote options.  You may use white space in place of the  equals  sign
       to separate an option name from its value.

DESCRIPTION

       This program is part of Netpbm(1).

       pbmtolps  reads  a  PBM image as input and outputs PostScript.  The output Postscript uses
       lines instead of the image operator to generate a (device dependent) picture which will be
       imaged much faster.

       pnmtops  is  a  more general program for converting from the Netpbm formats to Postscript,
       though it cannot produce the particular arcane subformat that pbmtolps does.

       One pixel of the input image corresponds to one printed pixel ('dot').  For this to  work,
       you  must  use a -dpi option to tell pmtolps the resolution of the target printer, in dots
       per inch.

       The Postscript program pbmtolps generates draws paths of less than 1000 segments so as not
       to overrun limits on the Apple Laserwriter and possibly other printers.

OPTIONS

       In addition to the options common to all programs based on libnetpbm (most notably -quiet,
       see
        Common Options ⟨index.html#commonoptions⟩ ), pbmtolps recognizes  the  following  command
       line option:

       -dpi=n The resolution of the target printer, in dots per inch.
