FD2PS(1L) Forms Library FD2PS(1L)NAMEfd2ps - Translates fdesign output to PostScript
SYNOPSISfd2ps [-options] input.[fd] [output]
DESCRIPTION
The program fd2ps translates the fd file produced by the
interface builder program fdesign of the Forms Library
into PostScript (ps), or optionally Encapsulated
PostScript (eps) for printing or inclusion into other doc
uments. The input file can be given with or without the
.fd extension. If output file name is not specified, used
is a filename derived from the input file name by replac
ing the .fd extension with ps or eps. If output filename
is specified as -, stdout is used.
OPTIONSfd2ps accepts the following command line options
-help Prints a brief summary of all command line options.
-version
Prints the current version of fd2ps and exits.
-p The option requests portrait orientation. By
default, the orientation is switched to landscape if
portrait will not fit the page. This option over
rides the default.
-l This options requests landscape output.
-bw n Specifies the border width of the interface. By
default this information is obtained from the .fd
file.
-eps This option requests Encapsulated PostScript instead
of the plain PostScript output.
-gray This options requests all colors be converted to
gray levels. By default, fd2ps outputs colors as
specified in the .fd file.
-G f specifies a gamma factor that will be used to adjust
the builtin colors in a non-linear fashion. It can
be thought as a way to brighten or dim the builtin
colors: larger the gamma, brighter the color. The
default gamma is 1.0.
-dpi f
This option specifies the screen resolution on which
the user interface is designed. By giving a smaller
or larger dpi number than that of the screen, the

output is in effect being enlarged or shrunk. This
flag does not affect text size. The default DPI is
85. If the .fd file is specified in device indepen
dent unit, this flag does not have effect.
-rgb file
This option specifies the path to the X color
database (rgb.txt) for use in parsing XPM color
names. The default is /usr/lib/X11/rgb.txt. Environ
ment variable RGBFile can be used to change the
default.
-paper name
This option specifies the paper name, such as A4,
Letter etc. The output PostScript will always cen
ter on the page. Use name all to get a list of the
known paper names and sizes. The default is US Let
ter unless environment variable PAPER is set to one
of the known paper names.
-pw f Specifies the paper width, in inches.
-ph f Specifies the paper height, in inches.
-verbose
This option specifies verbose output, i.e., comments
in the output PostScript file. Most useful for
debugging the fd2ps program.
