NAME
mdump − dump text image
SYNOPSIS
mdump [ OPTION ... ] [ FILE ]
DESCRIPTION
Dump a text as a Netpbm image.
The Netpbm image is written to a file created in the current directory with the name ’BASE.pbm’ 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.pbm’.
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, or WxH. In the last case, W and H are the width and height 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.pbm’, ’BASE.02.pbm’, 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 the 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 specified, the Netpbm 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 basename of FILE. So, the default behaviour is the same as specifying ’cat > s.pbm’ as FILTER.
|
-q |
Quiet mode. Don’t print any messages. |
--version
Print the version number.
-h, --help
Print this message.
