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

       -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

       -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

       -g level
               specify  the  distance level between lines. If level is 0, the result will be close to the result
