SYNOPSIS¶
pbmtextps [
-font fontfile] [
-fontsize
fontsize] [
-resolution resolution] [
-stroke
strokesize] [
-verbose [
text]
DESCRIPTION¶
pbmtextps takes a single line of text from the command line and renders
it into a PBM image.
The image is cropped at the top and the right. It is not cropped at the left or
bottom so that the text begins at the same position relative to the origin.
You can use
pnmcrop to crop it all the way.
OPTIONS¶
- -font
- By default, pbmtextps uses TimesRoman. You can specify the font to
use with the -font option. This is the name of any valid postscript
font which is installed on your system.
- -fontsize
- Size of font in points. See the -resolution option for information
on how to interpret this size.
Default is 24 points.
- -resolution
- Resolution in dots per inch of distance measurements pertaining to
generation of the image. PBM images don't have any inherent resolution, so
a distance such as "1 inch" doesn't mean anything unless you
separately specify what resolution you're talking about. That's what this
option does.
In particular, the meaning of the font size is determined by this
resolution. If the font size is 24 points and the resolution is 150 dpi,
then the font size is 50 pixels.
Default is 150 dpi.
- -stroke
- Width of line to use for stroke font. There is no default stroke width
because the letters are solid by default.
USAGE¶
See
pbmtext for usage examples.
