NAME
     ps4014 - convert a Tektronix 4014 files to POSTSCRIPT format

SYNOPSIS
     ps4014 [ -RCNm ] [ -p_o_u_t_f_i_l_e ] [ -l_l_e_f_t,_b_o_t_t_o_m ] [
     -s_w_i_d_t_h,_h_e_i_g_h_t ] [ -S_w_i_d_t_h ] [ _f_i_l_e ]

DESCRIPTION
     _p_s_4_0_1_4 reads in a Tektronix 4014-format file and converts it
     to POSTSCRIPT format for printing on a POSTSCRIPT printer.
     If no _f_i_l_e is specified, the standard input is used.  The
     resulting POSTSCRIPT file may be directed to the standard
     output or to a named file.

     The possible options are:

     -p _o_u_t_f_i_l_e
          causes the POSTSCRIPT file to be written to the named
          file rather than the standard output.

     The following parameters affect the size, placement and
     orientation of the image on the printed page.  By default,
     the 4014 image is scaled to occupy nearly the whole page in
     a landscape orientation.

     -l _l_e_f_t,_b_o_t_t_o_m
          specifies the location on the printed page of the bot-
          tom, left corner of the converted raster image.  The
          values _l_e_f_t and _b_o_t_t_o_m are the distances (in inches)
          from the bottom, left corner of the printed page to the
          bottom, left corner of the image.

     -s _w_i_d_t_h,_h_e_i_g_h_t
          Specifies the size of the converted raster image on the
          printed page.  _W_i_d_t_h and _h_e_i_g_h_t are the dimensions (in
          inches) of the resulting image on the printed page.

     -S _w_i_d_t_h
          allows you to scale the image without distoring its
          shape. _W_i_d_t_h specifies the width, in inches, of the
          resulting image on the printed page.  The height of the
          image is computed to maintain the same ratio of height
          to width on the output image as on the input raster-
          format file.

     -R   rotates the image 90 degrees on the page for portrait
          orientation.  The default is landscape orientation.

     The following parameters specify values for 4014 hardware
     options that affect the interpretation of 4014 commands.

          the left margin but not down to the next line.  By
          default, a carriage return command moves the pen down
          to the next line and over to the left margin.

     -N   causes line feed to move the pen position down to the
          next line but not left to the left margin. By default,
          a line feed command moves the pen down to the next line
          and over to the left margin.

     -m   enables the "Margin 2" mode for the 4014.

ENVIRONMENT
     PSLIBDIR
          path name of a directory to use instead of
          /usr/misc/lib/ps for ps4014 prologue.

FILES
     /usr/misc/lib/ps/ps4014.pro
                           default prologue file.
