CROSSPAD2PS(1)         DragonFly General Commands Manual        CROSSPAD2PS(1)

NAME
     crosspad2ps - convert CrossPad data file into postscript and other
     formats

SYNOPSIS
     crosspad2ps [-abDir] [-s startpage] [-e endpage] [-p page] [-m format]
                 [-w width] file

DESCRIPTION
     crosspad2ps converts CrossPad version 0 data (which is typically
     generated by padload(1)) into postscript file.

     The following options are available.

     -a      Toggle annotation.  Annocation is on by default, and will be
             *   page number on the bottom left of the page, and
             *   checkbox on bookmarked page.

     -b      Batch mode (default).  This has no effect at this moment.

     -D      Debug mode.  If you specify multiple -D, debug level will be
             raised.

     -i      Interactive mode, which is opposite from batch mode (-b).  This
             has no effect at this moment.

     -r      Do not reorder pages.  CrossPad file is ordered by date/time, not
             the pages.  By default, crosspad2ps will reorder output by page
             number, which is usually a desired behavior.  If called with -r,
             crosspad2ps will not reorder the pages, and generate output based
             on the order presented in the source file.

     -s startpage

     -e endpage

     -p page
             To restrict page range to be appear on output, use these options.
             -p is to genearate output for single page only.

     -m format
             Select the output format.  format can be ps, eps, tgif or idraw.
             Alternatively, you can invoke crosspad2ps under other names such
             as crosspad2eps.

     -w width
             Set the linewidth to width.

MODES
     There are some restrictions or differences in behavior for each of the
     output formats.  To switch output format, please use -m, or invoke as
     crosspad2xx.

     ps      Annotation (-a) takes effect on postscript output only.
             Linewidth option (-w) takes effect on postscript, eps and tgif
             output only.

     eps     As we cannot generate multi-page encapsulated postscript file,
             only the first page in the specified range (as specified by -s,
             -e and -p) will be generated.  Linewidth option (-w) takes effect
             on postscript, eps and tgif output only.  Annotation (-a) will
             not be handled.

     tgif    -s, -e and -p will behave just as the same as eps mode.  -r has
             no effect.  Blank area around the sketch will be cropped, and the
             sketch will be placed at top-left corner of the tgif image.
             Annotation (-a) and linewidth (-w) takes effect on postscript,
             eps and tgif output only.  Debugging output (-D) will not be
             generated.

     idraw   Mostly same as tgif mode.  -s, -e and -p will behave just as the
             same as eps mode.  -r has no effect.  Blank area around the
             sketch will be cropped.  Annotation (-a) and linewidth (-w) will
             not be handled.  Debugging output (-D) will not be generated.

BUGS
     If crosspad2ps sees unknown control code in the file, it will generate
     error.  In this case, you'd better transmit your CrossPad file to the
     author of the utility, so that the control code is supported in the next
     version of this program.

     This tool only capable of handling CrossPad version 0 file format.

     -b and -i has no effect at this moment.
