     F2PS(1)	       UNIX System V (29 March 1988)	       F2PS(1)

     NAME
	  f2ps - Fig to Postscript translator

     SYNOPSIS
	  f2ps [ -f font ] [ -s size ] [ -e scale ] [ ][ -L ][ -P ][
	  -N ][ -c ] [ input_file [ output_file ] ]

     DESCRIPTION
	  F2ps translates xfig output format (in input_file into the
	  postscript language (in output_file ).  The default
	  input_file and output_file are standard input and standard
	  output.

	  The font should be font that your printer knows about.  The
	  unit of size (font size) is point.  There are 72 points in
	  an inch.  The upper limit for size is 300 points (about 4
	  inches).  Scale will also be applied to size. The default
	  value of font, size and scale are Times-Roman, 12 points and
	  1 respectively.

     OPTIONS
	  -c   Center the figure on the page.  The centering may not
	       be accurate if there are texts in the input_file that
	       extends too far to the right of other objects.

	  -L   Print in landscape mode.	 This is the default.

	  -P   Print in portrait mode.

	  -N   No page printing command (showpage) is to be appended
	       after the figure. This ensures that when the output is
	       used as an included illustration, it won't untimely
	       skip the rest of the page.  However you can not print
	       it by itself on the printer.

	  Objects (except text) which are created in xfig while the
	  dash-line mode was on will be produced with dashed line even
	  though they may be drawn with solid line in xfig.

     SEE ALSO
	  xfig(1).
