     NAME
          imagetops - convert image file to printable PostScript

     SYNOPSIS
          /usr/etc/appletalk/imagetops [ -D|-ddblev ] [ -J jobname ] [
          -n user ] [ -p printer ] [ -m mode ] [ -P ppd ] filename

     DESCRIPTION
          The program imagetops produces a printable PostScript
          version of the image filename on standard output.  It will
          be able to read all image formats that the psfiletype(1)
          program labels as ``image'' or ``eps.''

     OPTIONS
          The image is sized to fit into the Imageable Area of the
          destination printer, determined by (in order of precedence):
          1) a SETUP.PPD.user file in the current working directory,
          2) a SETUP.PPD file in the current working directory,  3) a
          ppd file supplied via the -P option, or  4) a PRINTER.PPD
          file in the current working directory.

          The mode parameter affects how the image is fit onto the
          page.  In fit mode (which is the default), the image is
          either grown or shrunk to fill the entire Imageable Area
          while preserving its aspect ratio.  If mode is noscale, the
          image is not scaled at all, and is centered within the
          Imageable Area.  In this case, if the image is larger than
          the page, it will be cropped.  The only other valid mode is
          shrink, which is equivalent to noscale if the image is
          smaller than the Imageable Area, or fit if the image is
          larger than the Imageable Area.  The mode is set either from
          the settings for printer or from the -m option, whichever
          option is last on the command line.

          The -d option sets the debugging message mask to dblev.  The
          debugging mask is documented in opidebug(5).  Full debugging
          can be enabled with the -D option.  By default, debug
          messages go to standard error.  Any supplied jobname is
          placed in the PostScript header %%Title comment.  The user
          option is also placed in the PostScript header %%For
          comment.  The -p option gives the name of the print queue
          for which this image is being converted.  The only thing
          currently affected by this is the mode.
