NAME¶
psplit - a tool for splitting PostScript files with multiple frames into
individual PostScript files, or simply determining the number of pages in a
file.
SYNOPSIS¶
usage: psplit [-c] input_file [output_file_root]
DESCRIPTION¶
"psplit" takes a PostScript file as input (that may have multiple
pictures) and splits it into individual PostScript files having a single frame
each. If the original file has a %%BoundingBox comment in it, then that
comment will be inserted into each output file and the output files will be
EPS (encapsulated PostScript) conforming. If the original file does not have a
%%BoundingBox comment, then the output files will not have one either. In that
case, if you want the output files to be EPS files, use the
"ps2epsi" utility that is based on GhostScript. If the -c option is
present, then only the number of pages in input_file is reported.
"psplit" is primarily intended to be used with PostScript files that
have been produced directly by NCAR Graphics, or produced from NCAR Graphics
by running "ctrans" with a PostScript graphcap. However,
"psplit" will also work on most PostScript files adhering to
PostScript Document Structuring Conventions (DSC).
By default the output files are named in sequence as "pict0001.ps",
"pict0002.ps", and so forth. If you want to specify a different root
name for the output files (i.e. a name different from "pict"), you
can specify that by entering the optional second argument.
