All rights reserved. Abstract: InterpressTools provides a collection of tools for manipulating Interpress masters. Included are conversions between written and encoded form, and tools for breaking-up, overlaying, concatenating and extracting pages, etc. Created by: Doug Wyatt Maintained by: Doug Wyatt:PARC, Michael Plass:PARC Keywords: composition, debugging, Imager, Interpress, page description language, printing, TeX XEROX Xerox Corporation Palo Alto Research Center 3333 Coyote Hill Road Palo Alto, California 94304 For Internal Xerox Use Only Commands note: in the following, angle brackets surround parameter names, square brackets denote optional syntax, curly brackets denote repetition zero or more times, and underlines denote things that you actually type. InterpressArrows [ _] (synonym IPArrows) A kludgey way of pasting figures into a document that was created by a program too dumb to include its own figures (e.g. TEX). The input interpress master may contain strings of the form <== | -u | -n] _ (synonym IPBooklet) InterpressBooklet creates a new Interpress master from an existing Interpress master. The input master is assumed to be a multiple-page Interpress master intended for 8-1/2 x 11 printing. When the resulting master is printed on a double sided 8-1/2 x 11 printer, and the pages folded in half, a "booklet" results. The pages of the resulting booklet will all be in the correct order with page one being the first or "cover" page. The style BookletCedar.style generates a print area appropriate for a booklet, no scaling is needed or done. If your document wasn't created with BookletCedar.style then you may want InterpressBooklet to scale down the original so that if fits on the now 5.5 x 8.5 page, use the -f option for this purpose. The -p and -i options allow paper and input sizes other than 8-1/2 x 11. Options: -b Input file was made with CedarBooklet.style, do not do any scaling (default). -f Input file is a "standard" (8.5 x 11 by default) document and should be scaled to fit. -s Scale by . For example: -s0.5 -u Shifts image "up" a little (good with -f) -p Specifies size of paper (usletter, uslegal, usledger, a4). -i Specifies size of image (used by -f to calculate scale factor). -n Adds new page numbers (does not try to remove any that are already there). InterpressBreakup [-by | -into ] (synonym IPBreakup) Breaks up the named Interpress master into multiple masters. Either the number of pages per master or the number of masters can be specified; the default is one page per master. InterpressCompose _ [transform1] . . . [transformN] (synonym IPCompose) Combine any number of input Interpress masters to form a single output master. Each input may be followed by an optional transformation, which is an arbitrary combination of the following: translate [in | m | cm | mm | pt] | rotate [radians] | scale | scale2 The default translation is in meters, but inches, centimeters, millimeters, or points may be specified; the default rotation is in degrees, but radians may be specified. will have the same number of pages as the input master with the greatest number of pages; other input pages will be cycled through as necessary. This program is useful for composing several images for output to a printer. For example, three interpress masters, each designed for output to the Dunn camera, may be composed as a single row of images for the Versatec printer by: InterpressCompose Output.ip _ Input1.ip translate 1.0 0.0 in scale 0.75 Input2.ip translate 13.0 0.0 in scale 0.75 Input3.ip translate 25.0 0.0 in scale 0.75 To take a landscape-formatted interpress master and turn it sideways, do this: interpresscompose PT.ip _ PhoenixTalk.ip translate 4.25 5.5 in rotate 90 translate -5.5 -4.25 in InterpressConcatenate _ . . . (synonym IPConcatenate) Concatenates the pages of the named Interpress masters into one master. InterpressExtract _ [ PAGE[S] { | [..]}] (synonym IPExtract) Extracts specified pages from an interpress master. InterpressOverlay _ (synonym IPOverlay) Overlays two interpress masters on each other, page by page. will have the same number of pages as ; will be cycled through as necessary. Good for adding corner marks, private data seals, etc. Any transformations specified will be applied only to . consists of {translate | rotate | scale | scale2 }, where and are specified in meters, and in degrees. InterpressSize (synonym IPSize) Gives the estimated, device-independent size of a printed Interpress file, in inches. Although not performing unnecessary operations, the entire Interpress file is examined, which might take a long time. InterpressLS {} (synonym IPLS) Gives the number of pages in each interpress master. InterpressPageUp [-b | -f | -s] _ InterpressPageUp creates a new Interpress master from an existing Interpress master. The input master is assumed to be a multiple-page Interpress master intended for 8-1/2 x 11 printing. When the resulting master is printed on an 8-1/2 x 11 printer, each page contains four original pages, scaled to fit (i.e. tiny).
