## Name

ps — Temporarily attaches the Postscript display manager and outputs the current MGED display to the specified output_file in PostScript format.

## Synopsis

`ps` [-f `font`] [-t `title`] [-c `creator`] [-s `size_in_inches`] [-l `line_width`] {`output_file`}

## DESCRIPTION

Temporarily attaches the Postscript display manager and outputs the current MGED display to the specified output_file in PostScript format. The -f option allows the font to be user- specified. The -t option allows the user to provide a title (the default is No Title). The -c option allows the user to specify the creator of the file (the default is LIBDM dm-ps). The s specifies the size of the drawing in inches. The l specifies the width of the lines drawn.

## EXAMPLES

The first example shows the use of the ps command to place a PostScript version of the current MGED display in a specified file and give it a particular title. The second example is much like the first except that a line width is specified and the title and output file names are different.

Example 1. Place a PostScript version of the current MGED display in a specified file.

`mged>``ps -t "Test Title" test.ps`

Places a PostScript version of the current MGED display in a file named test.ps and titles it Test Title.

Example 2. Specify the line width of a PostScript version of the current MGED display in a specified file.

`mged>``ps -l 10 -t "Test Fat Lines" fat_lines.ps`

Places a PostScript version of the current MGED display with fat lines in a file named fat_lines.ps and titles it Test Fat Lines.
