PLOT2PS(1G)

NAME
plot2ps - plot file to postscript filter

SYNOPSIS
plot2ps [ -pitch n -line n -font string -ncopies n -flip ] < file.plot > file.ps

DESCRIPTION
Reads modified plot(5) plotting instructions from the standard input and produces postscript instructions on the standard output. Plotting instructions usually reside in a file with a '.plot' suffix created by lipgraph(1g) , lippic(3g) , or LNKnet graphics routines. Alternatively, lipgraph(1g) output can be piped directly to plot2ps.

The following options are recognized, each as a separate argument:

-font font_name
    The font_name defaults to "/Times-Roman." It can be switched to other fonts such as "/Helvetica" if desired.

-pitch
    Integer pitch of labels. Defaults to 10.

-line line_width
    Floating number indicating width of lines in pixels. Defaults to 0.2.

-ncopies n
    Makes up to 10 extra copies. Defaults to 1.

-flip
    Flips x and y axes.
