FD2PS(1L)			  Forms Library 		       FD2PS(1L)

NAME
     fd2ps -  Translates fdesign output to PostScript

SYNOPSIS
     fd2ps [-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 docu-
     ments. 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 in-
     put file name by replacing the .fd extension with	ps  or	eps.  If  output
     filename is specified as -, stdout is used.

OPTIONS
     fd2ps 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 orienta-
	   tion is switched to landscape if portrait will not fit the page. This
	   option overrides the default.

     -l    This options requests landscape output.

     -bw n
	   Specifies the border width of the interface. By default this informa-
	   tion 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 de-
	   fault, fd2ps outputs colors as specified in the .fd file.

     -G f  specifies a gamma factor that will be used to adjust the builtin col-
	   ors 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 inter-
	   face 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 independent 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 colornames. The default  is  /usr/lib/X11/rgb.txt.
	   Environment 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 center on the page.  Use  name  all  to
	   get	a  list  of  the known paper names and sizes.  The default is US
	   Letter 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.

BUGS
     Not all objects are currently supported.
