Not exactly a language question, per se. I'm looking for a "psutils" like psquadrant -q 1 entirepage.ps upperleftquadrant.ps that doubles the height and width of the upper-left quadrant and fits it in the original bounding box. That is psquadrant -q 1 entirepage.ps upperleftquadrant.ps psquadrant -q 2 entirepage.ps upperrightquadrant.ps psquadrant -q 3 entirepage.ps lowerleftquadrant.ps psquadrant -q 4 entirepage.ps lowerrightquadrant.ps will print four pages that you can assemble into one big version of the entirepage. Not quite a psresize or epsffit. Anything like that? Thanks, -- John Forkosh ( mailto: j@f.com where j=john and f=forkosh )

Perhaps you want "poster"?

Supposedly part of linux distributions....

Thanks, Ross. That works perfectly. Isn't on my slackware 14.0
linux box, but download/unzip/make took about five seconds.
To print one quadrant on each of four lettersize pages,
I had to generate a 15"x15" postscript image, i.e.,
%%BoundingBox: 0 0 1080 1080
(which the poster-generating program can fortunately
adjust easily), and then run
./poster -mLetter -s1 poster.ps > quadrants.ps
which isn't much extra trouble.
But I can't figure out how to get rid of those pesky
hash marks at each corner and Grid(1,1), etc on each page.
I see that
" (Grid \\( ) show\n"
" rowcount strg cvs show\n"
" ( , ) show\n"
" colcount strg cvs show\n"
" ( \\)) show\n"
in poster.c, and am guessing it's responsible.
But I barely know postscript, not well enough to remove it.
I tried a few times, but no joy. Must be easily doable,
I suppose, but apparently not easily enough for me :).

Just %%comment out everything below his "%% print the cutmarks\n" and "%% print the page label\n", leaving just the showpage at the end of his tileepilog. There probably ought to be a runtime -switch for that. -- John Forkosh ( mailto: j@f.com where j=john and f=forkosh )
