Produces an encapsulated Postscript +style bitmap as output. The output is not a stand alone postscript +file, it is only a preview bitmap, which can be included in an +encapsulated PostScript file. + +<P><b>pbmtoepsi</b> assumes the PBM input describes a whole output +page, with one pixel on the page corresponding to one PBM pixel. It +detects white borders in the image and generates Postscript output +that contains a Bounding Box statement to describe the location of the +principal image (the image excluding the white borders) on the page +and thus does not include the borders in the raster part of the +Postscript output. + +<P>There is no <b>epsitopbm</b> tool - this transformation is one way. + +<A NAME="lbAE"> </A> +<H2>OPTIONS</H2> + +<DL COMPACT> +<DT><B>-dpi=</B><I>N</I>[<B>x</B><I>N</I>] + +<DD> + <P>This option specifies the resolution in dots per inch of the + ultimate output device. You must specify this because the + Bounding Box statement defines the bounding box in absolute + distances, not in pixels. <b>pbmtoepsi</b> assumes in + calculating the bounding box that each PBM pixel will become one + dot on the output device, and applies your <b>dpi</b> + specification to calculate the size and location on the page of + the bounding box. + + <P>If you specify <I>N</I><B>x</B>N, the first number is the + horizontal resolution and the second number is the vertical + resolution. If you specify just a single number <I>N</I>, that is the + resolution in both directions. + + <P>The default is 72 dots per inch in both directions. + + <P>This option was new In Netpbm 10.3 (June 2002).
