Overview
Reads a Group 3 fax file (raw or digifax) as input. If no filename is given, stdin is used. Produces a displayable xwd file as output.
Options
-
-kludge -
Tells g3toxwd to skip the first lines for synchronisation.
-
-reversebits -
Tells g3toxwd to interpret bits least-significant first, instead of the default most-significant first. Apparently some fax modems do it one way and others do it the other way. If you get a whole bunch of "invalid code" messages, try using this flag.
-
-scale N -
Scale the output to match the printer resolution and paper size, the default of 0.58 will do in most cases.
-
-aspect N -
Scale the output to match the printer resolution and paper size, the default of 1.0 will do for high resolution faxes, 2.0 will do for low resolution faxes.
-
-skiprows N -
N faxrows of the input file will be skipped.
-
-name <name> -
The name <name> will be put in the output file for xwd.
- The standard for Group 3 fax is defined in CCITT Recommendation T.4.
