✨ EPSFFIT(1) ✨

ok so this is epsffit, from the User Command section of the manual, and honestly? it's giving tiny-but-mighty 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

epsffit — bestie, it fits your Encapsulated PostScript file into a bounding box. that's the whole vibe. no cap.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

epsffit [OPTION...] LLX LLY URX URY [INFILE [OUTFILE]]

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Fit an Encapsulated PostScript file to a given bounding box. literally its whole job, and it ate. 🔥

So here's the cast of characters you gotta hand it — the four numbers are the box corners, and they go in this exact order:

  • LLX — x coordinate of lower left corner of the box 💜
  • LLY — y coordinate of lower left corner of the box 💜
  • URX — x coordinate of upper right corner of the box 💜
  • URY — y coordinate of upper right corner of the box 💜

then the files, and these are lowkey flexible:

  • INFILE — - or no INFILE argument means standard input 👑
  • OUTFILE — - or no OUTFILE argument means standard output 👑

like, it'll just grab from stdin and yeet to stdout if you don't say otherwise. main character energy fr fr. ✨

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -c, --center, --centre — center the image in the given bounding box 🫶 (yes, both spellings, they're not gonna make you pick a side)
  • -r, --rotate — rotate the image by 90 degrees counter-clockwise 🔄
  • -a, --aspect — adjust the aspect ratio to fit the bounding box 📐
  • -m, --maximize, --maximise — rotate the image to fill more of the page if possible 🔥 (again, both spellings, slay)
  • -s, --showpage — append a /showpage to the file to force printing 🖨️
  • -v, --version — show program's version number and exit 👋
  • -q, --quiet — don't show progress 🤫
ngl, -s is the one to pay attention to — it's literally appending a /showpage to force printing, so know that's what you're asking for before you send it. 💀
