NAME

       choptest - HylaFAX page chopping test program

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/choptest [ options ] input.tif

DESCRIPTION

       choptest is a program for testing the page chopping support in the HylaFAX software (specifically, in the
       faxq(8) program).  choptest analyzes a TIFF/F (TIFF Class F) file with 1-D MH- or 2-D MR-encoded data and
       reports  what  the  automatic  page  chopping logic would do if the file were submitted for transmission.
       Options are provided for controlling whether choptest checks the last page or all pages of the  document,
       and what whitespace threshold to use in deciding if a page should be chopped.

OPTIONS

       -a        Chop  all  pages  in  the  document.   This is equivalent to setting the PageChop configuration
                 parameter to ``all''; c.f.  hylafax-config(5).  By default only the last page of  the  document
                 is considered.

       -t inches Set the minimum whitespace threshold that must be present on a page for it to be chopped.  This
                 is  equivalent  to  the PageChopThreshold configuration parameter; c.f.  hylafax-config(5).  By
                 default choptest requires that at least 3 inches of trailing whitespace be present.

EXAMPLES

       The following shows a multi-page, high-resolution document.  Each page has insufficient whitespace for it
       to be chopped.

       hyla% ./choptest -a ~/tiff/pics/faxix.tif
       Chop pages with >=3" of white space at the bottom.
       Don't chop, found 67 rows, need 588 rows
       Don't chop, found 67 rows, need 588 rows
       Don't chop, found 67 rows, need 588 rows
       Don't chop, found 53 rows, need 588 rows
       Don't chop, found 91 rows, need 588 rows
       Don't chop, found 99 rows, need 588 rows
       Don't chop, found 47 rows, need 588 rows
