NAME¶

psmegaplot - To create poster-size PostScript plots from page-size plot

SYNOPSIS¶

psmegaplot plotfile -Sscale [ -C ]

DESCRIPTION¶

psmegaplot reads a GMT-produced PostScript file and 'blows it up' by an arbitrary scale. The result is several plots that make up the pieces in a jigsaw puzzle. Cut and paste these pieces to make a 'megaplot'.

plotfile

PostScript file as created by the GMT programs.

-S

Multiply the x- and y-dimension by scale. scale must be larger than 1.0.

OPTIONS¶

No space between the option flag and the associated arguments.

-C

Plot crop marks in each corner of every output page. [Default is no marks]

EXAMPLES¶

To magnify a contour-map PostScript file 3 times, giving a total of 9 output pages to be pasted together, use psmegaplot hawaii_contour.ps -S 3 -C > hawaii_contour_megaplot.ps

BUGS¶

This program is unlikely to work on non- GMT-produced PostScript files since it anticipates the structure of the file. It also assumes that the output media is Letter size.
