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 ), pbmtolps recognizes the following command line option:

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