NAME¶
choptest -
HylaFAX page chopping test program
SYNOPSIS¶
/usr/sbin/choptest [
options ] input.tif
DESCRIPTION¶
choptest is a program for testing the page chopping support in the
HylaFAX software (specifically, in the
faxq(8) program).
choptest analyzes a
TIFF/F (
TIFF Class F)
file with 1-D MH- or 2-D MR-encoded data and reports what the automatic page
chopping logic would do if the file were submitted for transmission. Options
are provided for controlling whether
choptest checks the last page or
all pages of the document, and what whitespace threshold to use in deciding if
a page should be chopped.
OPTIONS¶
- -a
- Chop all pages in the document. This is equivalent to
setting the PageChop configuration parameter to ``all''; c.f.
hylafax-config(5). By default only the last page of the document is
considered.
- -t inches
- Set the minimum whitespace threshold that must be present
on a page for it to be chopped. This is equivalent to the
PageChopThreshold configuration parameter; c.f.
hylafax-config(5). By default choptest requires that at
least 3 inches of trailing whitespace be present.
EXAMPLES¶
The following shows a multi-page, high-resolution document. Each page has
insufficient whitespace for it to be chopped.
hyla% ./choptest -a ~/tiff/pics/faxix.tif
Chop pages with >=3" of white space at the bottom.
Don't chop, found 67 rows, need 588 rows
Don't chop, found 67 rows, need 588 rows
Don't chop, found 67 rows, need 588 rows
Don't chop, found 53 rows, need 588 rows
Don't chop, found 91 rows, need 588 rows
Don't chop, found 99 rows, need 588 rows
Don't chop, found 47 rows, need 588 rows
