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 documents.	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 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	orien-
	     tation 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 in-
	     formation 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 in-
	     terface 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 de-
	     fault 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 out-
	     put PostScript file. Most useful for debugging the	fd2ps program.
