avs2ps1
Convert avs image input on stdin to monochrome postscript on stdout
Usage
avs2ps [-b]
[-dpi
xxx]
<
infile.avs
>
outfile.ps
Examples
Produce an unbordered black & white image suitable for printing on a 300 dpi PostScript printer.
render < infile.r3d | avs2ps > image.ps
Add a border, and prepare image for a 400dpi printer
render < infile.r3d | avs2ps -b -dpi 400 > image.ps
Options
-b
Draw a border around the figure. By default avs2ps will produce a borderless image 0.5 inch in from the bottom left of the page.
-dpi xxx
By default avs2ps writes header records into the PostScript output file which are correct for a 300dpi printer (e.g. an HP IIIsi). If there is a mis-match between the header records and the actual resolution of the printer the image quality is substantially degraded. This option allows one to specify a different printer resolution (e.g. -dpi 400 for a Next printer, or -dpi 95 for GhostScript on a 1280x1024 workstation screen).
Overview
avs2ps converts the input stream to a grey scale image and then applies an empirical algorithm for dithering and error propagation to produce a monochrome output image.
