NAME
       pbmtolps - convert PBM image to PostScript

SYNOPSIS
       pbmtolps [-dpi=n] [pbmfile]

       Minimum	unique	abbreviation of option is acceptable.  You may use double hyphens instead of single hyphen to denote
       options.	 You may use white space in place of the equals sign to separate an option name from its value.

DESCRIPTION
       This program is part of Netpbm(1).

       pbmtolps reads a PBM image as input and outputs PostScript.  The output Postscript uses lines instead  of  the  image
       operator to generate a (device dependent) picture which will be imaged much faster.

       pnmtops	is a more general program for converting from the Netpbm formats to Postscript, though it cannot produce the
       particular arcane subformat that pbmtolps does.

       One pixel of the input image corresponds to one printed pixel ('dot').  For this to work, you must use a -dpi  option
       to tell pmtolps the resolution of the target printer, in dots per inch.

       The  Postscript	program pbmtolps generates draws paths of less than 1000 segments so as not to overrun limits on the
       Apple Laserwriter and possibly other printers.

OPTIONS
       In addition to the options common to all programs based on libnetpbm (most notably  -quiet,  see	  Common Options  ),
       pbmtolps recognizes the following command line option:

       -dpi=n The resolution of the target printer, in dots per inch.
