okay bestie, gather round, because this is the Generic Image to PS Filter and she is lowkey a whole icon 👑

✨ NAME ✨

imagetops — generic image to ps filter 🖼️➡️📄

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

imagetops [-gray] [arguments for pnmtops] [filename]

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so imagetops is a generic image to ps filter. that's the whole vibe. and the way that she can literally be used as a print filter in KDE?? main character energy fr fr 💅

here's the tea on how she works — it's a two step situation, no cap:

1. the file you hand her gets converted to PNM format. she does this by analyzing the file format and then calling the appropriate conversion program. she's not doing it herself, she's delegating, and honestly? respect. 🫶
2. then that PNM file gets converted to PS format by calling pnmtops. slay.

the supported mime types are: jpeg, png, x-png, bmp, x-bmp, gif and tiff. that's the roster, bestie, and it's a solid roster ✨

also?? imagetops supports reading the parameters via stdin. a temporary file in $TMPDIR (or /tmp if that's unset) is created then. so if $TMPDIR isn't a thing for you, she's just gonna go hang out in /tmp, nbd 🌈
