\fBpostscript\fR [\-f\ \fIfont\fR] [\-t\ \fItitle\fR] [\-c\ \fIcreator\fR] [\-s\ \fIsize_in_inches\fR] [\-l\ \fIline_width\fR] {\fIoutput_file\fR}
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
Temporarily attaches the
\fIPostscript\fR
display manager and outputs the current MGED display to the specified
\fIoutput_file\fR
in
\fIPostScript \fR
format\&. The
\fI\-f\fR
option allows the
\fIfont\fR
to be user\- specified\&. The
\fI\-t\fR
option allows the user to provide a title (the default is No Title)\&. The
\fI\-c\fR
option allows the user to specify the creator of the file (the default is LIBDM dm\-ps)\&. The
\fIs\fR
specifies the size of the drawing in inches\&. The
\fIl\fR
specifies the width of the lines drawn\&.
.SH "EXAMPLES"
.PP
The first example shows the use of the
\fBpostscript\fR
command to place a
\fIPostScript \fR
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\&.
