m17n-dump(1)			The m17n Library		    m17n-dump(1)

NAME
     m17n-dump - dump text image

SYNOPSIS
     m17n-dump [ OPTION ... ] [ FILE ]

DESCRIPTION
     Dump a text as PNG image file.

     The PNG file is written to a file created in the current directory with the
     name  'BASE.png'  where  BASE  is the basename of FILE. If FILE is omitted,
     text is read from standard input, and the image is  dumped  into  the  file
     'output.png'.

     The following OPTIONs are available.

     * -s SIZE

     SIZE is the font size in point. The default font size is 12 point.

     * -d DPI

     DPI is the resolution in dots per inch. The default resolution is 300 dpi.

     * -p PAPER

     PAPER  is	the paper size: a4, a4r, a5, a5r, b5, b5r, letter, WxH, or W. In
     the case of WxH, W and H are the width and height	in  millimeter.  In  the
     case of W, W is the width in millimeter. If this option is specified, PAPER
     limits  the  image  size.	If FILE is too large for a single page, multiple
     files with the names 'BASE.01.png', 'BASE.02.png', etc. are created.

     * -m MARGIN

     MARGIN is the horizontal and vertical margin  in  millimeter.  The  default
     margin is 20 mm. It is ignored when PAPER is not specified.

     * -c POS

     POS  is the character position of cursor to draw. By default, cursor is not
     drawn.

     * -x

     FILE is assumed to be an XML file generated by the  serialize  facility  of
     the m17n library, and FILE is deserialized before an image is created.

     * -w

     Each line is broken at word boundary.

     * -f FILTER

     FILTER is a string containing a shell command line. If this option is spec-
     ified,  the  PNG image is not written info a file but is given to FILTER as
     standard input. If FILTER contains '%s', that part is replaced by	a  base-
     name of FILE. So, the default behaviour is the same as specifying 'cat >
	 %s.png' as FILTER.

     If FILTER is just '-', the PNG image is written to stdout.

     * -a

     Enable anti-alias drawing.

     * --family FAMILY

     Prefer a font whose family name is FAMILY.

     * --language LANG

     Prefer a font specified for the language LANG. LANG must be a 2-letter code
     of ISO 630 (e.g. 'en' for English).

     * -fg FOREGROUND

     Specify the text color. The supported color names are those of HTML 4.0 and
     '#RRGGBB' notation.

     * -bg BACKGROUND

     Specify  the  background  color.  The supported color names are the same as
     FOREGROUND, except that if 'transparent' is specified, make the  background
     transparent.

     * -r

     Specify that the orientation of the text is right-to-left.

     * -q

     Quiet mode. Don't print any messages.

     * --version

     Print the version number.

     * -h, --help

     Print this message.
