NAME
pbmtextps - render text into a bitmap using a postscript interpreter
SYNOPSIS
pbmtextps
[-font fontname]
[-fontsize fontsize]
[-resolution resolution]
[-stroke strokesize]
text
DESCRIPTION
Takes a single line of text from the command line
and renders it into a bitmap.
The bitmap is cropped at the top and the right. It is not cropped at the
left or bottom so that the text begins at the same position relative to the
origin.
OPTIONS
- -font
-
By default, pbmtext uses TimesRoman.
You can specify the font to use with the
-font
option.
This is the name of any valid postscript font which is installed on your
system.
- -fontsize
-
Size of font in points. This defaults to 24 points.
- -resolution
-
Resolution of image in DPI. Default is 150. Since PBM files do not have
any inherent size, this resolution is in relation to the font size.
- -stroke
-
Width of line to use for stroke font. There is no default stroke width
because the letters are solid by default.
USAGE
You can generate antialiased text by using a larger resolution than the
default and scaling the image down using pnmscale.
See the man page for the similar
pbmtext
for more advice on usage.
