   NAME
         postplot - PostScript translator for plot(4) graphics files

   SYNOPSIS
         postplot [options] [files]

   DESCRIPTION
         The postplot filter translates plot(4) graphics files into PostScript
         and writes the results on the standard output.  If no files are
         specified, or if - is one of the input files, the standard input is
         read.  The following options are understood:

         -c num    Print num copies of each page.  By default, only one copy
                   is printed.

         -f name   Print text using font name.  Any PostScript font can be
                   used, although the best results will be obtained only with
                   constant width fonts.  The default font is Courier.

         -m num    Magnify each logical page by the factor num.  Pages are
                   scaled uniformly about the origin which, by default, is
                   located at the center of each page.  The default
                   magnification is 1.0.

         -n num    Print num logical pages on each piece of paper, where num
                   can be any positive integer.  By default, num is set to 1.

         -o list   Print pages whose numbers are given in the comma-separated
                   list.  The list contains single numbers N and ranges N1 -
                   N2.  A missing N1 means the lowest numbered page, a missing
                   N2 means the highest.

         -p mode   Print files in either portrait or landscape mode.  Only the
                   first character of mode is significant.  The default mode
                   is landscape.

         -w num    Set the line width used for graphics to num points, where a
                   point is approximately 1/72 of an inch.  By default, num is
                   set to 0 points, which forces lines to be one pixel wide.

         -x num    Translate the origin num inches along the positive x axis.
                   The default coordinate system has the origin fixed at the
                   center of the page, with positive x to the right and
                   positive y up the page.  Positive num moves everything
                   right.  The default offset is 0.0 inches.

         -y num    Translate the origin num inches along the positive y axis.
                   Positive num moves everything up the page.  The default
                   offset is 0.0.

   DIAGNOSTICS
         An exit status of 0 is returned if files were successfully processed.

   NOTES
         The default line width is too small for write-white print engines,
         such as the one used by the PS-2400.
