SYNOPSIS

rastps [ −aN ] [ −hN ] [ −p ] [ −rN ] [ −s ] [ −WN ] [ −xN ] [ −yN ] filename ...

DESCRIPTION

rastps converts screen images and rasterfiles to PostScript form.  The image can then be printed a PostScript printer such as the Sun LaserWriter. 

A sample use might be

% rastps -w3 my_raster | lpr

where my_raster is a raster file (that could have been produced by screendump(1)).

A common use is

% screendump | rastps | lpr

to produce an image the Workstation screen image on a LaserWriter.  It takes about 4 minutes to print a non-rotated screendump.  If rotation is requested, the time needed increases to about 30 minutes.
