POSTER(1)
NAME
poster - Scale and tile a postscript image to print on multiple pages
SYNOPSIS
poster <options> infile
DESCRIPTION
Poster can be used to create a large poster by building it
from multiple pages and/or
printing it on large media. It expects as input a generic
(encapsulated) postscript file,
normally printing on a single page. The output is again a
postscript file, maybe contain-
ing multiple pages together building the poster. The output
pages bear cutmarks and have
slightly overlapping images for easier assembling. The
input picture will be scaled to
obtain the desired size.
