✨ epsffit — the manual page, but make it a group chat 💖

okay bestie, so this is epsffit(1), a General Commands Manual girlie from the PSUtils family, and she is here to help you squeeze an encapsulated PostScript file (that's EPSF, iykyk) into a size you actually asked for. 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

epsffit — fit encapsulated PostScript file (EPSF) into constrained size

no cap, that's literally her whole job. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

epsffit [-c] [-r] [-a] [-m] [-s] llx lly urx ury [infile [outfile]]

she takes a bunch of little flags, four numbers, and then optionally an input file and an output file. so many options, so much main character energy. 👑

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

okay so here's the vibe. epsffit takes an EPSF file — encapsulated PostScript, the little self-contained icon of the PostScript world — and fits it into a bounding box you give her. 🫶

the box is described by coordinates:

  • (llx,lly) — the lower left corner 🍓
  • (urx,ury) — the upper right corner 🦋

and those are in PostScript units (points), bestie, not pixels, not inches, points. periodt.

and if you don't specify an input or output file? she's not gonna make a big deal out of it. she just reads from standard input and writes to standard output. iconic behavior honestly. 💖

💅 OPTIONS 💅

one bullet per flag, as the universe intended:

  • -c — Center the image in the given bounding box. she goes in the middle. balance. symmetry. ate. ✨
  • -r — Rotate the image by 90 degrees counter-clockwise. spin her around, bestie. 🔄
  • -a — Adjust the aspect ratio to fit the bounding box. heads up though: The default is to preserve the aspect ratio, so this one is you actively choosing chaos (respectfully). 😭
  • -m — Rotates the image to maximise the size if it would fit the specified bounding box better. like, she'll turn it if turning it makes it bigger. that's just smart. 🧠
  • -s — Add a showpage at the end of the file to force the image to print. force her. make her show up on paper. 🖨️🔥
